hello i'm skip alzheimer and welcome to the 80 geeks lunchtime streaming show uh i just wanted to say a shout out to william for some coffee he wasn't able to make it to the streaming show but he still thought about me getting some caffeine and i very much appreciate that and i gotta say i very much appreciate all of you uh who have been tuning in this is our 267 show uh and it's been it means a great deal to to show these films to you and i and i want to say this and i won't harp on this but we don't all share the same in this you viewers don't all share the same ideas about politics about religion about science um and i'm okay with that um we're here we're a community of people from lots of different walks of life um although facebook excuse us it's like kind of gives me profiles and it's like well we're not too much different than who i am but uh i just want to say thank you and that we can be a community even though we don't see eye to eye on on a lot of those things and so let's just keep going and let's share what we enjoy um and this is a streaming show to give us a break from the headlines it's a screaming show of 16 millimeter films and so thank you again uh so watching 16 millimeter this next film is uh about uh it was shown it there was this course that would sometimes show up or even like a degree which was called family living family living in college uh is what home economics became and so a lot of these films would be shown in family living courses and essentially this is how to have a successful family because really being a homemaker is a serious job you know at the time and a lot of people took that very seriously so when a woman said they were homemaker it's like well so you do a lot and so uh this film is was made for couples who were on the verge of engagement uh thinking about getting married and it's one of those ones it doesn't really ask a question but the answer is no so here it is engagement romance and [Music] [Applause] reality [Music] do what we get the blood test and the license tomorrow and then as soon as the waiting period's over we'll lie but you hardly know each other we know enough daddy we've both gone out with a lot of other people and but it's never been like this before we know it's right well i can take care of her my job's not much now but it's got a great future but so soon no time to look forward or to plan but mother we have planned to be married your mother and i aren't saying no you're old enough to know what you want if you give yourselves time to be sure all we want you to do is take the time daddy mother we don't want to hurt your feelings but we just don't see the point well let me put it this way jim tell me everything you know about judy well she's 19 her birthday's in june she's secretary she likes pizza she's a great dancer a beautiful girl everything you say is true jim you haven't mentioned anything you couldn't live with for the rest of your life but even with someone as wonderful as judy there may be some things you don't know about daddy i haven't been putting on an actor or feeding jim a line judy darling you too jim we know you haven't been putting on an act but being in love is such a wonderful experience that it when it changes you at first or seems to it's hard to explain it is hard to explain that the magic of being in love won't last forever strong physical attraction can blind you to serious faults or make you see virtues that do not exist sometimes romance bears no resemblance to reality am i making any sense at all you're saying wait a long engagement no judy that isn't it we're not asking you just to wait we're asking you to find out if you like each other as much as you love each other jim well it won't take very long to find that out i guess we could wait a while if it'll make you and judy's mother happier you see isn't it wonderful well now isn't this something give credit to jim and judy for deciding to wait but don't be misled into believing that waiting in itself proves you're ready for marriage you must make a conscious effort to be realistic about each other if you're to make the best use of an engagement period and judy and jim aren't ready for that in spite of themselves they will go on seeing each other through rose-colored glasses dating is like that you date for the first time expecting to enjoy yourself you enjoy yourself and you date again and so on and on there's a party atmosphere about everything you do and with the party atmosphere party manners i'm outta girl sweetie pie sweetie pie [Music] you don't get the hang of this yet sweetie fine you bet i will sport well just watch how party manners require you to overlook minor annoyances he sees her as a girl who doesn't mind being called sweetie pie she allows him to go on thinking something that isn't true both are contributing to a picture of her which isn't realistic the situation works both ways of course oh look there's a phone and you really want to start sure [Music] [Music] hello mother uh jim and i are going to the lake and set it to the bowling alley like we said gee talk about aprons okay mom goodbye fair that didn't take long doesn't it make you feel better party matters require you to be agreeable even if you don't agree she sees him as one who has no objection to her close family ties and he says nothing to indicate his disapproval so both of them are helping to establish a picture of him which isn't accurate in courtship we're always on our good behavior avoiding any reaction which might be unpleasant for example jim has a dinner date with judy for six o'clock [Music] well that's okay i knew you were trying to get here oh i was mother and i went shopping and while the time just evaporated jim i know i should have kept better track of the time but but mother was picking out a dress to wear to our wedding well that's okay sweetie pie as long as you're here are you ready to be served now yes reality will never enter the picture as long as people sidestep opportunities to let their real feelings come out in the open how then is time going to make any difference to judy and jim or to any couple who is dating seriously time makes a difference because it usually sends opportunity to work as well as play together maybe the work is only an unexpected job which comes up when you borrow dad's car for the day nevertheless watching someone at work can give you insights you never had [Music] before oh [Music] time also makes a difference because eventually the really important matters have a way of cropping up it would have been a good buy but had to pass it up down my last five bucks and payday isn't even in sight yet you know i i don't even know when your payday is the first the first that's 10 days away don't i know it well we can forget about the ice show no no we won't already have the tickets best seats in the house jim how much do you make well here's my check stub it'll be bigger next month when my automatic increase comes through jim every time we double date with peyton reena you grab the check i thought you made lots more than this well my dad's always good for a loan and awful abs minded about asking for it back i can't expect to go on doing that after we're married looks like we can't expect to go on doing a lot of things oh worry worry worry hey that's better i will do all right sweetie pie put your pay in mind jim i sort of thought you'd be the kind who didn't want his wife to work well takes money to support a wife but no no no give me a kiss enough of this yak yak yeah well where were we ah popcorn no with the yak yak yak we've got some things to talk about funny how well you can know someone and still find out new things when you take time to talk you can find out what values people have by piecing together little things what they say how casual they are about money about repaying what they borrow about expecting wives to work values also become apparent in patterns of behavior daddy and mother have always lived on a budget daddy and mother again an expression that's getting to be nearly as irritating as the fact that she's always late that's why values make such a difference it can be plenty irritating to discover that what's important to you isn't important to someone else so irritating already here i've been here since 4. oh is that what time we said i'm sorry did you get the clerk to show you the one i saw in the window yes and i've had plenty of time to look at some others too there that one that's the one oh it's it's fabulous but well that's about it if you're going to be late and picking out your ring you're gonna have to take what you get oh jim be serious those rings must cost a fortune i want my wife to have the best but well shouldn't we be more practical practical how about rainzone look this is no time to be a cheapskate well let me tell you something someone's going to have to be the way you are spending money as if it grew on trees borrowing so you can put on a big show my parents taught me to respect money your parents your parents well can't you talk for two minutes without bringing your parents in we have to check with them for every move we make i just assume forget the whole can i help you oh thank you sweetie pie and don't call me sweetie pie i hate that name first i thought i'd just call off the engagement just call it quits but we can't do that why not would it kill me and him too we've just gotta patch it up somehow well not if you're just patching things up to save your pride oh judy dear it hurt a great deal more to find out later that you should have broken up and didn't no i wish it had never happened well it did and you won't believe this but it may not be the worst thing that ever happened this quarrel today it brought out some things about jim that have been bothering you and obviously some things about you that have been bothering him now if you two could just talk these things over oh i wouldn't have the nerve i know most people are afraid to be completely honest with each other but you'll have to be eventually what if we couldn't work things out what if i couldn't get him to change judy it's hard enough to change yourself how can you ever expect to change someone else your father still takes off his shoes every time he sits down if you don't want to change dear or or don't want to live with jim just the way he is well that's why engagements are broken mother i i didn't know you minded daddy slipping off his shoes some things you make up your mind to accept whether you like them or not other things your husband may accept but on the same basis whether he likes them or not you can't depend on his feelings really changing one thing your father makes me accept is that he won't wait for his meals let me know if you need me [Music] oh i feel oh [Music] jim could you come over almost like strangers judy and jim confront each other in a way they are strangers two real people have replaced the romantic visions they used to see [Music] time has brought her to the point of admitting to herself this person is not perfect i am not perfect time has brought him to the point of asking can i live with her imperfections can she live with mine if they can face these facts and questions honestly their love is probably real physical attraction is backed by enough respect and similarity of values to build a lasting relationship the engagement is what an engagement should be a period of romance and reality [Music] how long does it take to get to this point how long should you date before marriage the answer to that differs with every couple the point is it takes time it takes conscious effort to discover reality in the midst of romance when you become engaged what qualities good or bad will you look for in the one you love hello i was racing across the room i was expecting more of an end to that film uh so great we've seen this narrative before with uh coronet films um and this one was made by centron and distributed by uh mcgraw-hill and this is more contemporary uh from the 60s versus the 50s but you know it's the same message same message uh i know what you're thinking you're trying to think of new opportunities this year to make money and this film that i got on ebay explores um how buying some simple equipment can make you more money this is called this is raking in the profits here it is the newest model of the revolutionary rake that's taken the hay country by storm the rake that gives faster better raking performance yet sells for under 400 there's no reason you shouldn't share in raking in the profits with the farmhand model 25 rake [Music] let's hook it up and demonstrate no matter what you use for raking truck car jeep or tractor hooking up to this new wheel rake is as simple as hitching to a wagon and transport is just as simple gates narrow roads and lanes are no problem for this compact race from farmyard to hayfield you're on your way to the best hay raking job you've ever done with a hay tool that rakes faster gentler cleaner and cheaper just take a good look at this world's finest a-ring the latest in a long line of pace setting farm equipment by farmhand here's simple compact design with the versatility and the proven features that make it the finest rake available built for minimum repair and replacements and priced under four hundred dollars the model 25 has completely modernized raking with its many dollar saving features with this rake you are truly raking in the process regardless of terrain type or condition of the hay this farmhand rake gets all the hay there is to get rakes a full seven foot swamp and lays it up in light fluffy windrows for quick thorough even drying another payoff feature is its gentle raking action the pickup action of the raking wheels that moves the hay at very low speed rolling it over to the windrow in a gentle sideways movement no rough treatment no beating of the hay no flying leaves the result is a loose uniform even drying windrow with all the valuable leaves and seeds preserved just watch the clean raking job the big ground driven raking wheels with their independent floating action and their specially designed evenly spaced teeth give complete pickup of all the hay without leaf shattering even over rough and rocky ground ditches and gullies the wheels follow the land contour each raising or lowering individually to get all the hay the farmhand wheel rake can rake hay out of ditches or off irrigation borders as cleanly as on level terrain [Music] on short runs as well as on the straightaway the raking is clean the wheel rake turns right or left at the ends of windrows without scattering the hay it rakes neatly right up to the fence lines and field edges and note how the model 25 offsets to the right of the tractor a raking position that's impossible with a pto driven rake this makes it easy to rake out of sloping ditches and keeps tractor wheels off the hay in a light crop where it's important to get every bit of hay the rake's thorough pickup spells many extra dollars saved the ground-driven wheels get every sphere of hay several light windrows can be rolled gently together without leaf loss to save baler travel and costs you are really raking in the profits with the model 25 let's take a closer look at the farmhand 25 see how it's built and how easy it is to adjust one of the few simple adjustments the hitch angle for offset raking or for transport is made in a few seconds this offsets the rake from directly behind to a position at the extreme right of the tractor a simple setting of the adjustment bar into any one of the six holes provides a full range of trailing positions the easily adjustable spring and chain balances each wheel so that it floats independently under tension with just enough weight to provide the right ground contact the patented double coil teeth are evenly spaced only five inches apart slanted for just the right sweeping and self-cleaning action years of continuous development have produced these specially tempered teeth which give maximum flexibility and extra long life [Music] one crank adjusts all the raking wheels simultaneously to suit any field condition or to elevate to transport position any height adjustment can be made practically at arm's length without strain without wrenches or levers there are no complicated mechanical parts or adjustments [Music] sealed timkin wheel bearings assure dependable field performance and permit fast smooth trailing at regular highway speeds perfect balance permits easy hookup it tows easily behind any vehicle anywhere and at all speeds simple sturdy construction makes the model 25 cost less to own operate and maintain there's no pto no belts pulleys or gearboxes few moving parts mean low maintenance and little trouble yes here's truly a rake that continues raking in the profits a rate that outperforms competition costs less to buy less to maintain let's take a moment to see what very real advantages the model 25 has over bar ranks compare the handy easily towed wheel rake with this [Music] compare the ease with which the model 25 rakes through rough spots and even over rocky ground with this [Music] and compare the way the bar rake flounders in the wind [Music] with this where the windshields on the farmhand rakes give hay no chance to scatter or tank [Music] the end result is what counts notice the clean farmhand raked swath on the left [Music] compare this complicated expensive type of drive with this simple design [Music] and you don't need a power takeoff you don't even need a tractor to rake with the farmhand 25 it can be hauled and worked anywhere a truck or jeep can go whether it's raking hay straw and heavy crops like corn stalks or sugar bead tops it does a complete job leaving a clean swath and a neat windrow the tougher the going the more this rake outperforms the others the spring balanced wheels float individually and automatically over uneven terrain reaching down into low pockets and riding up over the ridges to get all the crop and raking at high speeds behind a jeep or pickup or in tractor top gear you still get the same clean raking job light maneuverable easy to pull and control with minimum power here's a rake that is always raking in the profits and here's another real bonus feature there isn't a windrow turner on the market that does a better job than the farmhand wheel rake it's a neat easy trick using only the two back wheels lowered in raking position to do the job they gently roll the windrow a half turn bringing the damp underside to the top for thorough uniform drying for complete versatility to suit all haying situations farmhand also offers the m6 with six raking wheels and over 10 foot raking width and the popular m5 a five wheeler which rakes a full seven and a half foot swarm a convenient time saver on both the m5 and the m6 is the optional hydraulic wheel lift attachment the hydraulic lift is especially handy for crossing windrows and for making turnabouts at the field ends another ingenious farmhand variation that rakes in the profits by cutting raking time in half is the tandem two rakes hooked together to take two swaths at a time tied together by a simple attachment bar the rakes can be quickly separated for individual use ideal for big acreages and light hay the tandem doubles the raking capacity the same speed can be maintained with the tandem as with a single rake the same easy gentle action the clean pickup all the great features and advantages of the single rake are retained in the tandem it takes short turns and corners as cleanly as the single rake covers the ground thoroughly and leaves no waste no transport problem either simply change one hitch setting and the entire double unit swings into compact transport alignment for easy towing [Music] now here's how the farmhand wheel rake rakes in the profits for you just add them up big savings all around in the price of the rake itself minimum repair and replacement costs more and better hay through cleaner gentler raking greatly reduce time and labor and the versatility that means satisfaction as well as savings you've seen how the farmhand wheel rate will pay off for you now you owe it to yourself to let it rake in the profits for you by doing a better job on your hay your dealer wants to prove this rake to you arrange for your demonstration now you will find it always pays off to own farm implements that carry the farmhand name it's a symbol of high quality and your assurance that the farmhand company and two thousand of the country's best implement dealers stand ready to provide parts and service promptly when you need it get acquainted with your farmhand dealer right away [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] um i love that little segment at the end there's no narration it's just musical interlude of the product just doing what it does i could see in the comments that many of you were sold on this this is a sign of a good promotional industrial film you know none of you are probably farmers and yet you felt compelled to want to buy this i'm sold uh and so that's a good salesman uh in a good film so uh yeah there's something very meditative about watching those wheels all those wheels go around and just kind of picking up all that hey um this is why i collect films this is you know i think i bought that on ebay and i don't even you know i was like i think i want that and you know they didn't have any example of what it was just a shot of the reel and it paid off man it's real good so there you go um all right so what do we want to watch uh let's watch this this is uh british uh but it's distributed by an american company called round table films and i would say that of the educational film companies that i've collected uh there are two that i'm very wary of that i mostly won't watch um one is round table films and the other is bna because both of those are generally the most boring like talking head slide show about management films somebody asked me like so if you were gonna call your collection what would you call and i would say those would be the films that i would call i mean i would certainly watch a little bit of them first to see if there were something else but um you know with provocative title like this this next one i would like put it on and watch it and it would just be some guy just you know pointing at like a bunch of graphics and it just about management so so so boring um thankfully this is not boring and it's like i said it's british made by a british film company and uh rank uh films uh who actually also created technologies just to digitize and scan films or to transfer films uh they made the rank sintel all right so here it is who killed the sale and this might you might recognize some british character actors in here there's at least one receptionist and i'm like oh choose from that good neighbors show here we go and adjust the sound level [Music] good morning good morning hollywood oh best of luck this what i heard afternoon the north is being split up into three parts with an area manager george hmm oh sorry i was thinking about something else yes and so i noticed no i've got a meeting this afternoon big deal could be keep your fingers crossed yes i will how did the uh meeting go well the board wasn't very pleased about last quarter's sales figures you know we'll talk about it overlapping well figures were disappointing i agree but i'm hoping for some rather more cheerful news in the future united metals you mean one swallow didn't make a summer remember quiet we've got a very strong sales program lined up now if we could start by getting a united rebels contract we'd be well aware well of course who's handling that one incidentally vine george ryan good salesman isn't it absolutely first class well mr vine i think you've got a pretty good grasp of our problems here i look forward to hearing your proposals thank you for giving me so much of your time mr harper and you mr stevens it's a great help to get the worx manager's people fire it's all right glad of a chance to air them until next week mr hopper until next week goodbye miss miller and thank you so much goodbye mr vine i'll ring you if i may make an appointment to see mr harper very soon yes of course look forward to seeing you again there aren't many george vines about oh i thought so too very bright chap salesman who take the trouble to understand our problems rather than just trying to flog their products regardless looks as if hollywood will get the contract now a bit early for that i haven't seen any proposals yet still other things being equal i shouldn't be surprised hang on fred just even just come in it's fred in the warehouse you know we ordered 72 size b pallets from hollywood's yeah well they sent him size a's he's doing his nut he can't use size a is down there they might fit in the base i've just been talking to their wrap i might still catch him he'll sort his outreach thank you just left you better get me holling woods please the dispatch department hello dispatch can i help you uh yes you can this is united metals a few weeks ago we placed an order for six dozen pallets now we've just taken delivery and you've sent a size a when you've factory ordered size b well can you hang on cause i go and get mr whitley okay now a few weeks ago we placed an order for six dozen size b pallets but you should have had those pallets yesterday in fact they arrived today but that's not the point the point is they're the wrong size now you sent a size well uh could you just have on a minute no no come on i haven't finished having a slight communication breakdown breakdown it's a bloody derailment here yes i'm still here well according to these dockets you ordered size b that's what i'm trying to tell you well it's all right then isn't it no it's very far from all right you synthesizer and we can't use them size is it yes and you ordered side b yes huh it's been a mistake then now the thing is what are you going to do about it do wow there's not much we can do not right now look i'm only asking you to deliver the palettes we all i know you know it isn't that we don't want to help you now surely i mean you know we don't want to put you in an awkward position no on if you've been last week we're going to deal with it but not now i mean yeah no i'm sorry you see i can't i mean not now now the abominable no man nothing like a woman's touch about the place honey honey can you spare a moment what is it the fact is i need your help for a customer demonstration in a few days okay we've got a lot on here you know we're very busy of course sir naturally i don't want to get in the way of production okay go around here then [Music] all that you want what is it you want nothing right just as long as you're ready to show one or two this one yeah i have to do what we can for you won't we thanks amy you do your best hey i said thanks you're welcome yes that seems to cover their main requirements but just check on this one with the technical people and then make sure that these delivery dates are realistic yeah right is there anything else before i go no thanks man oh good night mr turnbull good night george hi pat um now what about this tour of the factory i thought the invitation might come better from your sales manager good idea uh ring harper to fix dimmer homey time mr whitley right off here you're working late just a few minutes to clear up oh well i'm off because my friend to be waiting don't overdo it i'm whacked not a bad day's work though a very good day i think we've got a fair chance it's too early to count chickens but it won't be our fault if we don't get this one come on i'll buy you a drink [Music] that's all right good night then oh good night well it's not right is it you know i mean it's six weeks since god is left to marry that fella and not before time nothing fitted her cheers all the very very best anyway they haven't done a blind thing about billionaire place so no wonder hollywood's never having complaints about delivery as i said you know and the matter we're in and it's going to get worse instead of better ideas and she's sort of you know it's not engineeringly sound i think not in my opinion ask anybody who's had anything to do with the hollywood variable speed conveyor you know what they'll say though ah that's it it's got two oh indeed so i said yes indeed and unless they do something about it there's going to be trouble because i'm going to stand for it i mean as you know i i don't like to listen to other people's conversations as a rule but the silly girl was chatting for all the bastard here and i know you do business with hollywood so naturally i paid more attention than i would have done otherwise not too sweet in traffic damn attention to what they are this girl on the bus you see you haven't been listening to a word i've been saying sorry there now what is all this about hollywood's morning moira my arrangement i think harper will find this pretty hard to resist let's hope so when are you seeing him just gonna fix it up now switchboard uh get me united metals will you mr harper secretary there's an incoming call for you mr vine will you take it first hello vine here good morning united metals here oh what a coincidence i was just about to call you that is mr harper isn't it no it's stevens we met in frank carter's office yesterday oh of course i remember mr stevens how are you i'm in the best of tempers mr vine your people have made a nonsense of the delivery of some fellows i'm sorry to hear that uh what seems to be the trouble well we ordered six dozen pallets from you only clearly specified size b pencil and get things moving now please now let me get this down you asked for size a but for god's sake don't you start no we ordered size b and your people sent us isaiah which are about as much use in this warehouse but they're no bloody use at all now my assistant told your people this yesterday but we couldn't get any satisfaction give me that idiot what's his name whitley of course mr stevens i'll do what i can i'm extremely sorry this has happened and i'll look into it right away all right all right just as long as something happens before our warehouse glides to a complete standstill but

important deal and waste everyone's time to prove it now if you'll kindly stop being obstructive and put me through to mr harper really i've never been spoken to like this before who is that hollywood

messages well don't worry mr sloan i'll track him down for you i thought that was in the bag what went wrong i don't know i just don't know [Music] [Music] um so there's similar types of films like this are made in the united states but that one's pretty great and it does feature a lot of british character actors and thanks to someone on the youtube uh who's watching on youtube who's from the uk uh he recognized penelope keith who was in the good life which uh i watched a bunch as a kid i used to show on pbs my local pbs used to show it and for some reason i just absorbed it and they used to show that before they started showing um are you being served which they showed for decades and decades and decades but um uh yeah so there's definitely some people in there also look familiar from other things like episodes of doctor who and some british horror uh but uh yeah i love uh i love that it's it's definitely an interesting thing it's made in 1971 and uh you know who who lost the sale who killed the sale everybody did the whole company killed it um thanks for tuning in today if you like what you saw or at least you were mildly amused by it um hit like or subscribe or notifications or share or whatever whatever it is you do um excuse me you can also buy us coffee coffee is a wonderful currency um that keeps us uh awake and vibrant and uh charging through some of the tedious stuff which is going through a bunch of spreadsheets and blah blah blah and copying files over and that's really the the tdm that is av geeks is copying files that's what we do all day is plug in cables and copy files um also you can go to avgeeks.com and you can see other things we've digitized i've been slowly putting up more of the coordinate films that we've been scanning um some beautiful things which i will certainly highlight and we started today by watching some of their stock footage reels which were these reels for internal use where basically they uh had leftover footage from show from films that they made that they would use pick and choose and use in new productions and it's all beautiful camera original kodachrome silent and uh there's some beautiful footage in there and i'll be showing more of those as we go along uh everybody have a good rest of your day um as always we look to the film canned and it tells us to please rewind and love each other and you know it's pretty good advice i guess you know rewinding i don't know how that applies to your life but i do a lot what i'm doing what i do um but loving each other that's that's more important so reach out to friends family share some love get some love in return um being distanced from everybody is hard so you have to make that extra effort uh and so again thank you for being a great community of eyeballs that i can show stuff to and um i will see you again tomorrow which i'll do two shows tomorrow one of them is a regular lunchtime show and then at three o'clock i'm going to be doing something with hunt library at nc state and we're going to do films about speech and speeches and grammar or pronunciation so uh hopefully i'll see you tomorrow everybody take care seven six five four
