which can be suitably selected to provide background music for almost any type of picture. This can not be considered as a substitute for sound-on-film as far as commentary is concerned ; however, when one considers that at least three-fourths of the time of the average travelogue is consumed with music and that only one-fourth of the actual time is taken up by commentary, it can be seen that the use of records with suitably titled films can, with proper presentation, make a very satisfactory exhibition. The use of recorded music for picture accompaniment has led to the development and introduction of numerous high-grade, compact, portable record-reproducing and recordcutting outfits during the past year. Most of this equipment is sufficiently sturdy and simple for amateur use.
(7) Films. — Several new films were introduced during 1939. In the 16-mm field Agfa Ansco introduced Triple-5 Superpan Reversible film. This new reversible film has an extremely fast, fine-grained panchromatic emulsion especially suitable for use under difficult light conditions.
Kodak Super-^Y" Panchromatic safety film was introduced by the Eastman Kodak Company. This new film has the same speed as Cine Kodak Super-Sensitive Panchromatic, with slightly higher contrast, less graininess, and better definition. Later a Cine Kodak 8 Super-^f Panchromatic Safety Film was made available by the Eastman Kodak Company.
Agfa Panchromatic Reversible film was announced. This film is a medium-speed, fine-grain, completely color-sensitive film having a gradation especially suitable for outdoor use.
SuperX Panchromatic "Reversal" 16-mm sound recording film was offered by the Eastman Kodak Company to provide a film of better sound-recording characteristics combined with better picture quality for simultaneous picture and sound recording purposes.
The Eastman Kodak Company also brought out Safety Super-XX' Panchromatic Negative film for workers desiring a 16-mm negative medium.
Agfa Twin 8 Hypan Reversible film was brought out by Agfa Ansco and for the first time provides users of 8-mm equipment with a highspeed, fine-grained reversible film.
The Gevaert Company of America made available a 9.5-mm film for owners of 9.5-mm equipment in the United States. This film is manufactured abroad, but it is processed by Gevaert laboratories in the United States.
