Ampex Names McNaughten, Good, 5a I z man to Top Posts REDWOOD CITY, Calif.— Neal K. McNaughten, widely-known broadcasting industry leader, has been appointed staff vice president of Ampex Corp., and marketing activities consultant for three divisions of the firm. In his new position, McNaughten will serve Ampex Professional Products Co., Ampex Audio Co., and Ampex International, according to Phillip L. Gundy, Ampex senior vice president in charge of operations for the three divisions. Succeeding McNaughten as manager of Ampex Professional Products Co., is Leonard E. Good, formerly corporate staff director of operations services for Ampex Corp. The appointment of Harold S. Salzman as marketing manager of Ampex Professional Products Co., also was announced. Salzman moves to Ampex from American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Before joining Ampex (1957), McNaughten had been associated with the broadcasting industry for a quarter of a century, beginning his career at KRGV (Weslaco, Texas) in 1932. He subsequently served as manager of standard allocation for the Federal Communications Commission (194148), director of engineering for the National Association of Broadcasters (1948-53) and manager of market planning for commercial electronics products at RCA. While with the NAB, McNaughten was chairman of the committee which established the U. S. broadcasting standards for magnetic tape recording. Good, who joined Ampex in January, 1959, has been a plant manager of General Electric Co., manager of overseas operations of the United States Time Corp., and a member of the general manager's staff at International Business Machines Corp. Salzman worked closely with broadcasting and other major industrial accounts. As marketing manager of Ampex Professional Products Co., he will direct all marketing activities associated with distribution of professional audio and video tape recording equipment. Nearly 700 Videotape (TM) television recorders from Ampex are now in use by broadcasters throughout the world. BRIGHTER LIGHT LONGER BURNING SHARPER PICTURE Free Test Samples Kodak Has Pamphlet on Teaching of Movie Production The great potential of 8mm sound in the teaching of motion-picture production is revealed in a new pamphlet now available without charge from Eastman Kodak Co. "8mm In Teaching Motion-Picture Production — A New Look", a fourpage pamphlet, expresses this potential in terms of a movie camera for each student in the course, of more film at less cost, and more effective teaching. The economy of 8mm is the key. The pamphlet points out that, for the cost of one good semi-professional 16mm camera (about $1,500), as many as 62 8mm cameras (such as the Brownie 8 Movie Camera, f/2.7) can be purchased. Similarly, a 10-minute film at 16 frames per second on 8mm costs only about one-fourth of a similar production on 16mm, and requires less than one-third the amount of film. (The new Kodak Sound 8 Projector provides for sound track addition at either 16 or 24 frames per second.) Also, 8mm adds the benefit of full color to student production, the company claims. More effective teaching is achieved through the simplicity of 8mm equipment operation. The instructor is free to emphasize motion-picture production techniques because the student can learn to handle an 8mm camera quickly and easily. The ability to provide each student with a camera increases his ability to learn. He is not limited to working in a camera "crew," nor to script-writing, or shooting, or editing. He becomes the writer, producer, and director, fully responsible for his production from beginning to end. The basic techniques of motion-picture production are much the same, the pamphlet stresses, whether 8, 16, 35, or 70mm film and equipment is used. Student mastery of the techniques can be acquired more quickly and at lower cost with 8mm equipment.
