AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 6-10-2025

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the Age Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films. And that's a bunch of uh clips made from raw coronet film footage. A lot of outtakes uh and some raw stuff that was eventually edited into films that they released. Um and I they're all short clips that we shuff uh shuffled. So it's all over the place. Uh yeah, so we just scanned this film even though I think I showed a version of this uh some time ago. This is glasses for Susan. Enjoy. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] like [Applause] [Music] [Music] Hello. You got to [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Wow. [Music] Heat. Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Hey, [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh yeah. Come on. [Music] Back. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] The mysterious Mclovia uh made that film. Um so somebody I guess there was some chatter about this film is is silent with just a soundtrack a musical soundtrack. Um and why did they do that? So that happens. We have certainly run across films that don't have any speaking narration or dialogue uh and just music and uh you know the easiest thing is it's cheaper uh recording sync sound at uh the location is it takes a lot of time and money and then you have to edit it together with the sound. Then you have to get good takes. You have to also be careful about where you're scouting your locations. All of that is uh one of the reasons Sid Davis, who is uh did that a lot uh with um his films. All of his were basically recorded without audio and then there was some narration on top or maybe some dubbing but uh it was totally cheaper. um for this film I mean Encyclopedia Bratanica had some money um this might have been you know we make this film there's no narration so you can sell it in other markets you can sell it to uh French Canadian provinces you can sell it in Spanish markets you can sell it in European markets you can sell it all all over the place uh and that might have been another way uh that and another reason that they considered doing this without uh any narration or dialogue. Okay. So, what do we got? Yes. Um the story of magnetism. And um I'm going to go ahead and start this off and then I'm going to turn off the color correction that we did so you can see what it was like. So, our uh film scanner uh the laser graphics uh we can balance it so that it pulls the red out. And a lot of times if you see films that are greenish or bluish, it's because we had to go in and remove the red because the the the dyes have faded. And so we're using the camera and the LEDs to balance it a little bit. And so it tends to go a little bit more greenish and bluish and cyananish. Uh and that's the case with this film, but then we tweaked it again. So here's story of magnetism. Enjoy. I think it'll be on first and then I'll turn it off and then I'll turn back on again. How about that? Enjoy. [Music] [Applause] [Music] It has no fingers, but it can pick things up. It has no brain, but it can choose the things it picks up. You cannot sell a compass, a telephone system, a tape recorder. This is the story of magnetism and how we use it. Johnny uses magnetism. The operator of this electric crane uses magnetism. Men first learned about magnets thousands of years ago. They found that a certain kind of rock called magnetite attracted iron. They called pieces of magnetite load stone. A load stone suspended from a string comes to rest pointing north and south. It was found that an ordinary piece of iron when stroked by a load stone becomes a magnet. Later mariners used magnets to make compasses. In the 16th century, Dr. William Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth I, made a study of magnetism. He found that unlike poles attract and that like poles of magnets repel one another. He found that when a magnet is broken, each of the pieces acts like a magnet. Even if a magnet is broken into a thousand pieces, each piece will act like a magnet. Dr. Gilbert made an important discovery about the compass. People of his time believed that a compass pointed north because the north star was attracting the needle. Dr. Gilbert believed otherwise. He shaped a load stone into a sphere and moved a compass around it. He showed that the compass was affected by the load stone in much the same way as a ship's compass is affected when it moves about the earth. Dr. Gilbert concluded that the Earth itself acted like a huge magnet. He made tests to show that magnets would not attract such things as wood, glass, and many metals other than iron. He found that magnetism can pass through glass and other non-magnetic substances. Dr. Gilbert explained much about magnetism which he called a high and splendid power. Later men learned more about magnetism. When a bar magnet is held under a sheet of paper on which iron filings are placed, the filings form a pattern like this. These filings follow the invisible lines of force which make up a magnetic field. Every magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field. The lines of force are concentrated at the ends or poles of the magnet where the field is strongest. The earth too has a magnetic field. It has magnetic poles located near the north and south geographic poles. The magnetic field affects a compassing pole of the compass needle points to the Earth's north magnetic pole. Compass needles, bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, and other common magnets are called permanent magnets. They tend to hold their magnetism. Many powerful permanent magnets are made from a combination of metals, iron, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and copper. Permanent magnets are used in many ways. In the earpiece of telephones, in magnetic pot holders, can openers, screwdrivers, hammers, microphones, electrical measuring devices are used in many toys and games. Whatever its size or shape, whatever its use, every magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field. And the earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. A wire when an electric current is sent through it is also surrounded by a magnetic field. This was demonstrated in 1820 by Hans Erststead, a Danish teacher. He placed a wire over a compass. When he sent an electric current through the wire, the needle turned until it was at right angles to the wire. The current had created a magnetic field around the wire. When a wire is wound into a coil and an electric current is sent through it, a magnetic field is produced similar to the magnetic field around a bar magnet. A coil of wire is called a solenoid. When a current flows through it, the solenoid acts like a magnet. When a rod of soft iron is placed inside the solenoid, it becomes magnetized when the current is turned on. But when the current is cut off, the rod ceases to be a magnet. A piece of iron encircled by a coil of wire carrying a current is an electromagnet. This huge A small electromagnet makes a doorbell ring. makes possible the telephone, the telegraph, the loudspeaker of your radio or television set. These and many other things depend on magnetism produced by an electric current. Here is an experiment you can perform to show a relationship between a magnetic field and an electric current. Use a dry cell battery, a coil of wire, and a compass. Attach one end of the coil of wire to one terminal of the battery. Place the compass inside the coil. Now touch the other end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. What does the movement of the compass needle show? How could you use this simple apparatus as an electric meter? We have seen that an electric current can produce magnetism. Now we will see that magnetism can produce an electric current. Over a hundred years ago, the English scientist Michael Faraday thrust a magnet into a coil of wire attached to an electric meter. The needle moved. An electric current was produced in the coil. You can test this yourself. Move a magnet into a coil of wire attached to a meter. How does the needle move? Quickly remove the magnet. Now, how does the needle move? What happens when the coil is moved instead of the magnet? When a coil cuts across magnetic lines of force, an electric current is generated. Faraday built the world's first magnetic generator of electricity. It consisted of a 12-in copper disc mounted so that it could be turned by a crank. As it turned, its outer edge passed between the poles of a large magnet. An electric current was produced. More efficient machines were soon built. Stronger electromagnets were substituted for the permanent magnet. A coil was used instead of Faraday's copper disc. Today's huge complex generators operate on the same principle. Scientists have learned much since the discovery that a load stone suspended from a string will point north and south. Dr. William Gilbert showed that the earth acts like a huge magnet. We know that magnets will attract some things like iron, steel, but not wood or glass. We know that every magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field. We can use iron filings to study the invisible lines of force which make up a magnetic field. We know that current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field. Electricity can produce magnetism. We know that a solenoid can be made into an electromagnet to lift great weights. We know that magnetism can generate electricity. When a wire cuts across magnetic lines of force, an electric current is generated. There is still much we do not know about magnetism. Some scientists developed a all particles which are themselves small magnets. This theory explained that when a material like this iron bar is not magnetized, the small magnets are scattered at random within the bar. What happens when the iron bar is magnetized? The particles line up with their north poles, all pointing in the same direction. As scientists learn more and more about the nature of the atom, newer theories are developed. These new theories explain the nature of magnetism in terms of the motions of the electrons within the atom. It is the work of the scientist to continue to explore the nature of our world within the atom, all about us and throughout the vastness of space. [Applause] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. So there you go, insane clown posi. That's how magnets work. There you go. It's all spelled out for you. Uh, you can send a FGO to me. Uh, care of my house. Uh, archive 714 Tyler Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 2764. Um, yeah. Uh, we got some religious films and this is just one of them. The Upper Room. Enjoy. [Music] It was springtime in Palestine and on a hill outside Salem, Jesus was instructing two of his disciples, Peter and John, to go into the city and find a place where they could observe the feast of the Passover together. And so Peter and John went to look for the place as Jesus had instructed them. little knowing that this was to be their last supper with the master. [Music] Jesus became saddened by the knowledge that he would never again eat the pascal meal with his disciples. I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover before I suffer. For I tell you, I shall never eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of God. [Music] Which of us shall be regarded as the greatest among his followers? Which one? [Music] Let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader is one who serves. For which is greater, one who sits at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among yours one who serves. [Music] Lord, do you wash my feet? What I am doing, you do not know now, but afterward you will understand. You shall never wash my feet, Lord. I do not wash you. You have no part with me. Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. He who has bathed does not need to wash except for his feet, and he is clean all over. And you are clean, but not all of you. [Music] Do you know what I have done to you? No, Lord. What does it mean, Master? You call me Master and Lord, and you are right. For so I am. If I, then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen. It is that the scripture may be fulfilled. He who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me. I tell you this now before it takes place, but when it does take place, you may believe that I am he. Lord, you seem troubled in spirit. Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me. Do this. Who could it be? Who could it be? Is it I, Lord? Lord, is it I? He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. The son of man goes as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born. Ask him who it is of whom he speaks. [Music] Lord, who is it? [Music] It is he to whom I shall give a morsel when I have dipped it. [Music] Master, is it I? You have said so. What you are going to do? Do quickly. [Music] Now is the son of man glorified and God is glorified in him. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me. But where I am going, give to you that you love one another. Even as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all men will know you are my disciples if you have love for one another. You will all be offended because of me this night. For it is written, Smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. Though they all be offended because of you, I never will be. Lord, where are you going? Where I am going, you cannot follow me now. But you shall follow me afterwards. Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you. Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I say to you, this very night before the cockroach, you will deny me three times. Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you. [Applause] [Music] [Music] Take and eat. This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. [Music] Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Truly, I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my father's kingdom. [Music] Yes, very annoying. Um, I think this film is in public domain. I did research on the title with the uh United States Copyright Office and so someone is asserting it and there's a process to um go in and uh you know contest someone's claim, but you can't do it with a live stream. And so YouTube is so incredibly fickle when it comes to these things. So I hate it. I absolutely hate it. Uh, and that kind of threw off my whole day, uh, here as far as the timing. Um, because I have a tight meeting. I am meeting with an intern who we're going to start moving films back into the archive. Um, so that's incredibly frustrating. I'm so sorry. Um, you know what happens in the story though, right? Uh, and honestly, maybe YouTube did us a favor because that was they took the story and then they went They're like, "We need to make this 15 15 minutes long." So, you know, m move the cup from person to persons even slower. Even slower. And whatever Jesus is saying, let's make it even slower. Oh boy. Yeah. So, anyways, I apologize for that. Obviously doing the due diligence to determine if something's in copyright or not doesn't matter. YouTube doesn't care. That is the the bane of the the AV geeks as many of you have attested. And I appreciate you tuning in and hanging on. And um we'll be back again tomorrow and I'll have more films and maybe YouTube will let us show them. I don't know. If not, maybe we'll just come up with a plan B somewhere else. Um it's it's laughable at this point, of course, but there you go. Uh we love you guys nonetheless. And if you like what we do, or at least what we're trying to do, then uh join us uh by um hitting the thumbs up or the like button. You can also uh float us some cash via the superthanks option in the chat or go to ko-fi.coms or patreon.coms. uh the money we're getting from Patreon is is paying for one of the storage units and that's great because we have seven and we're trying to whittle that down to not having so many. Um so that is why I'm meeting with this intern and we are uh working on beginning the process of moving films back. It's going to take a long time but we'll do it for you. Um, thanks again and um we'll see you tomorrow everybody. Take care. We love you. Bye.
