This film, an incomplete excerpt from a longer industrial film that was likely made by Bell & Howell, is about the versatile uses of film and cameras beyond traditional entertainment, highlighting their application in science, industry, and communication.

0:00 The film begins by posing questions about how cameras can capture events that are too fast, too slow, too far away, or too dangerous for humans to observe. Filaments are shown creating an arc.
0:36 It introduces film as the "master of time," with the power to speed up, slow down, or stop events. A ship is shown in long exposure / time lapse / fast motion / coming into a harbor and cars coming through a drawbridge. An ejection seat tumbles in space and the parachute opens.
0:46 It also highlights film's ability to bridge distance, bringing things from "5 miles up or 5,000 miles around the globe" right to the viewer.
1:15 The camera is presented as a safe way to observe dangerous events, as it can be operated from a distance and left unattended. An atomic bomb nuclear test is shown in Nevada, with observers watching the blast.
1:34 The film shows how film magnifies observation in other ways, such as:
1:39 Making small things big through photomicrography (e.g., spherical crystals).
1:51 Making big things small through miniatures (e.g., a distant alien planet is shown with a visiting rocket ship).
1:57 Converting sounds into permanent, visual pictures. An oscilloscope is shown.
2:03 Making the invisible visible, such as seeing shock waves around a model airplane in a wind tunnel.
2:17 The narrator explains that film's ability to bridge time and distance allows for the sharing and coordination of research and testing results on a global scale. 2:24 a rocket sled test is shown followed by a missile launch.
2:40 The film transitions to film's use in industrial production, noting that a camera can perform a "lasting time and motion study" without the resentment a person with a stopwatch might cause. Assembly line is shown.
2:57 It specifically mentions time-lapse photography for accurate timing and other techniques used for job simplification, safety analysis, and overall production efficiency.
3:17 The camera is presented as a tool for making a permanent record of rare or one-time events, from the spectacular to the mundane, such as a company outing. A volcanic eruption is shown.
3:39 The film's role shifts from a "recorder" to a means of communication , highlighting the projector's role in conveying messages. A Filmo type Bell & Howell motion picture camera is shown, followed by a Bell & Howell autoload projector.
3:54 The final segment shows various clips of different topics, including an automobile test, fishing, and a couple having a "happy time," which reinforces the camera's ability to capture and communicate a wide range of subjects.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
