AV Geeks Lunch 5-30-2022

so so so so so oh sorry about that hi everybody i'm skip alzheimer and welcome to the av geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films and uh comment on them um i'm back in the archive after mostly a week at the beach with my family and i hope you got an opportunity to tune in to some of that you get to meet my family and you get to see me eat lasagna and some film leader uh that's all last week uh so today is memorial day um you know my my feeling i'm gonna soapbox a little bit is uh honor those that uh that died fighting fascism abroad by fighting it in our homeland um so this next film is a film that was made during world war ii towards the end uh and it was meant to uh convince people to continue supporting the war bonds um but it talks about sacrifice talks about sacrifice of um those in the military that were fighting the war but also sacrifice of um that we can make that the comfort that we have um is at the cost oftentimes of those that fought for that so this is it can't last [Music] ah [Music] oh mother if you're taking a look at the morning [Music] morning freddie [Music] right up to the churchyard question with my bike gee they were pretty gross there season opens tomorrow all we used to say the air smell different on the opening day maybe the first frost at night or dead leaves or someone burning brush off somewhere can i have an apple sure thing say let's see the paper freddy toss her up here listen to this mother another 25 000 prisoners fellow said the war to be over this fall looks like he's right doesn't look like it could last that much longer hey then maybe quits would be home for christmas huh quince well maybe not that soon save you heard from that brother of yours lately not for a couple of weeks mother's kind of worried you tell your mother not to worry about quincy martin he can take care of himself yeah well gotta get going the whole race is so long freddy news like this in the morning like this hard to keep your mind on the wall makes you think of things like a new car plenty of gas in the tank and tires with real treads on them maybe a bag of charcoal under the seat and a stake in oil paper your rascal make your mouth water old boy well it won't be long roof can't last much longer walk on she's almost done any way you look at it it's almost over [Music] roof let's go get it [Applause] [Music] good morning good morning [Music] you tunnel gunners live too much alone you lose touch with time radio man to pilot sir request correct time for the land in the greenhouse over local correct time stand by 2139 mark for the information of the unseen audience in the turret gunner's seat 2139 makes 9.39 on that dark manometer you count the years by the hell it does 21.39 makes 7 39 in the morning my time looks like morning doesn't it well it looks like morning in connecticut find something at night out here make seven something am in god's country god's half of it east half of it figured out for yourself i am often smell the morning coffee right this minute clear from k band of buffalo hello red leader this is scarlet base report weather over scarlet base this is red leader top 22 bottom six cloud cover seven over red leader dog bay look around under mattress over yep make 7 39 a.m and october what's in here it's over here too isn't it ah it's the same month they give you 12 times a year only warmed over and warmer connecticut it's horror frost on the grass and grouse in the pine lots ever see the litchfield county hills at half past seven in october no but if you ever expect to see him again look at him five six seven heavy cruiser three destroyers seven transports of course oh [Music] [Music] [Music] free [Music] hello [Music] kind of a lonely spot when they light it up [Music] how do you feel kid swell only here [Music] skipper never came up did he didn't even try to get out [Music] october okay but i don't tell time by clarkson connecticut i know crazy [Music] but it kind of brings it nearer sure it does [Music] makes you think of the clouds they used to use in that big length trainer before they busted us out of student pilots but they still thought they could teach us navigation back at school [Music] remember that tame pacific on the screen and the clouds i used to squirt across it to fool you how really looked realer than these things [Music] only then if you lost yourself in the fog you could talk to the wave on the other end of the wire tell her to turn the lights on [Music] and she did [Music] [Laughter] and there you were sort of silly but back home [Music] [Applause] remember that wave she had black curly hair in the nape of her neck you could almost feel in your hands when you looked at it a long way back to that law can you think of it two years and how many missions 40 50. i need to think of the world going on somewhere else without you not bothering first time ever felt like that was at carl c [Music] remember yeah i remember where we lost [Music] skipper calling the flat top and no answer i guess we all knew why but it didn't help much and the light about gone and cares about gone and a skipper cool is a cucumber hello red three this is purple bait vector 220 distance three eight then i have that voiceover stranger's voice calling us into a strange ship that's when i learned about navy sailor right then when we hit that deck but jeez before they heard us take it quick [Music] what we need pete is a wave at the other end of the phone turn that sky off [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] boy you and i are alone i'm telling you never were two guys so much alone what do you mean alone haven't we got the squadron sure but where are they 300 miles south southeast they got home and haven't we got the flat top back of the squadron you're a good guy pete i can't last and you know [Applause] it lasts much longer you think they'll forget us [Music] sure sure quince back of the fleet the whole damn country every man and woman in it every kid in those pine lots in connecticut whatever time it is in the afternoon whatever they're doing and wherever they're going there isn't one that wouldn't be with us they're all part of the same thing quince the same thing we are the same war [Music] whole hard quince hold tight they're all part of us they're around us they're all around us they're here [Music] weather like this mother couldn't get it out of my head all day an open car a tank full of gas and a gun in the booth good evening mr squire good evening freddy good night freddy a man can't think about war and this kind of weather the war almost finished at that can't last much longer mother it can't last [Music] you're right mr squires the war can't last much longer part of it can't last much longer not the way it's going not if we keep it going the way it's going but that doesn't mean mr squires and you would be one of the first to say so if you thought about it you and thousands of others like you that doesn't mean that the war is any easier to fight it is tough to dive in the last flack to land on the last beach to slug it out in the last engagement as the first if anything it's tougher mr squires the hardest blow to hit in a fight is the last one because it is the last it takes everything a people has to hit the last blow in a war and make it last all the heart and all the will and all the purpose your heart your will your purpose you can't forget the war because it's almost over mr squires it's because it's almost over that you must think about it think about it as you've never thought before and work for it harder and give to it harder it's as hard mr squires to fight in the last battle of a war as in the first it is hard forgive me to die at the end of the war as its beginning maybe it's even harder [Music] all right so this was a plea um for continuing to support uh war bonds and to realize that um the war wasn't over yet and so there's still people fighting and losing their lives so today's memorial day um and those that have lost their lives we honor them but uh i'll just say a little bit like there's those that didn't like die but certainly have lost their lives um and we can still support them um and should uh both my father and stepfather served in vietnam and both of them are suffering from their experience there with ptsd hearing loss um and some other things going on so keep supporting those veterans who lost something during their wars um so all right i'll get off my soapbox let's uh deal with some customers thanks to cornette [Music] there are people who deal in products [Music] there are people who deal in services [Music] and there are the customers who buy products and services [Music] barb works at a kennel she provides a service taking care of dogs john deals with a product motorcycles chris's job is at a tv studio and it varies sometimes the focus is on service and sometimes on product three jobs three very different jobs but three jobs that have one thing in common [Music] you know i used to think that with a job like this i don't deal with customers i don't sell anything but then i realize that i do i guess when you think about it almost everybody deals with customers and sell something i work with customers all the time some know what they want and some don't you know my job varies but a large part of it is dealing with the customers we have advertisers all the time salesmen actors and musicians customers all three jobs depend on customers people who buy the products or services customers vary products and services vary there are all kinds of situations and conditions a salesperson has to deal with one thing i've learned though is that it really helps to know your product when you're dealing with a customer with bikes they're all kinds [Music] they're built for different uses [Music] [Applause] i have to know that there are capabilities and limitations how else can i help my customers know your product that's basically might mean knowing what's happening the hemlines [Music] it might be knowing older works by best-selling authors it might mean knowing which new releases have just come in it might even mean understanding the psychology of dogs their different moods and characteristics even if you don't sell dogs but just help take care of them [Music] it might mean knowing proper ways of grooming them and training them [Music] and even talking to them [Music] well i feel that knowing things like that helps me to get along with the dogs and care for them better chris doesn't have to sell her product but she has to understand it well enough to do certain jobs or explain things sometimes okay bob so that's basically how this station is organized first we'll take a look at the tv studio and then we'll see the radio area okay everybody ready we'll start out in studio a you can still know your product when you sell a service like here at the kennel we sell a service care for the dogs my job is to care for the dogs and to work with them the best way i know how and that's really what the customers are concerned about [Music] i figure the more i know about dogs the more it helps me to deal with the customers your customer depends on your knowledge of what you sell but i think what's more important for me is finding out what the customer needs or what he wants i have to learn about the guy shall wrap it up for you oh yeah i can't define know your customers needs and wants that's basic too it might mean showing a customer shoes that are more practical than stylish it might mean giving a customer guidance when he doesn't have the technical vocabulary to tell you exactly what he wants it might even mean disagreeing tactfully with a customer when you're sure he's made some mistake it may take some talking to find out what you need to know about your customer but mainly it takes listening customers will fill you in if you give them a chance okay he's buying a bike well how much does he have i mean if a guy walks in and he's just a beginner when you don't try to sell him the biggest bike going [Music] you might sell him this it's easier to learn on and much easier to handle and what's he want to use it for hill climbing or running around town because that makes a difference in what i'll recommend for him what kind of features does he want well sometimes a guy doesn't know exactly so you have to really listen to him and then suggest the features that you think he might need [Music] i've got to know all those things before i can help the guy find the right bike for him yeah you have to know the needs of your customers you also have to be aware of the way different people think so that you know how to handle angry customers customers with a lot of complaints look he's only 17 a minor and and the second day he brings that thing back he dents it he didn't he didn't even tell us about it i won't accept it in that stat well ma'am he did sign a contract i know but he's a miner only 17. i won't accept that i have my rights uh well i i'm sure we can work this out ma'am um would you like to talk to the manager he's right over there i'm sure he can help you much better than i can yes right now well that's part of dealing with customers too the most important thing though is knowing your products knowing your customers needs and fitting them together what i'm looking for for tor is special care something distinctive uh something rather comfortable and roomy oh and with an outdoor run the fee is no consideration sure i think we've got just a thing for tor good dealing with customers means more than just selling that's particularly true in chris's work another thing about my job i'm the first person the customer sees and the first impression he gets of the company so a pleasant personality is important and so is the way i dress the customer sees the business through you your voice might be the customer's only contact whether it's pleasant or not might determine whether the customer ever wants to shop at your store again [Music] your patience when a customer takes a long time making a decision or even decides not to buy may bring that same customer back in the future your friendliness may be the main reason why customers visit your place when there are others just about as good nearby your willingness to listen your helpfulness [Music] your courtesy all affect your customers attitude toward you and the place where you work you can offer customers consideration intact helpfulness without trying to impose your own tastes because your object is to help sell what your business sells [Music] well i i guess when you get right down to it the key to dealing with your customers is knowing your product for me that's known my dogs i put that together with understanding the customer's needs and there you have it come on come on let's go [Music] okay good to see you come here boy come on hey there you go [Music] oh yeah [Music] hello boy come on businesses depend on customers and how you deal with them will affect the success of the business and your success too tour come here tour [Music] oh it looks so thin [Music] exciting the dog handler shows up in one of my favorite venereal disease films the lunatic which was made by centron has a great song one of the great vd songs made by centron made popular by centron and so yeah she plays the the young girl stricken with uh vd and she's trying to con convince her contact to go in and get treated um but he is unwilling to do it because he's a lunatic um yeah so it's great i think she's in some other educational films too um but i don't know her name the actress's name unfortunately all right so behind me if i do that yes i did it um is the telecini is the scanner actually made by blackmagic and um i have a film set up on it and i don't have the title right um the title is uh what is the title is human use of space technology human use of space technology all right here we go enjoy [Music] [Applause] [Applause] we developed the technology to explore space it in fact has begun the most surprising exploration of our own planet earth and it is profoundly changing the way we live on it you can actually get a associate of arts degree by watching television programs satellite imagery can give you some warning on this for famine in africa now with advanced miniaturization technology we're able to implant much smaller pacemakers scientists designed vehicles to explore the universe almost no one guessed what this would do to life here on earth our story begins with the fact that in order for man to explore space a few very basic problems had to be overcome first a vehicle had to be created that could get into space and stay there [Music] astronauts had to survive and their daily needs be supplied in a new world of zero gravity they had to be able to work communicate back and forth to earth and all of this was in a miniaturized world floating in the sky just to make sure in order to accomplish this the decision was made to spend billions of dollars in both the united states and the soviet union by the time they had finished they had created a space program all right but they had also created a technological revolution on earth it was one that spawned industrial giants changed the everyday products of life and created ways to communicate around the globe never [Music] this is imagined eisenhower speaking it is a great personal satisfaction to participate in this first experiment in communication involving the use of the satellite balloon known as echo [Music] as echo beamed its little satellite message across the world it's safe to say that neither eisenhower nor anybody else for that matter with the exception of a few futurists understood that we were about to become a world of satellites and even the futurist probably only had the dimmest knowledge of what that would mean because in fact the ability to beam picture and sound from a satellite in the sky down to a dish on the earth was about to revolutionize the way we live in a profound way [Music] for example below this plane live approximately 400 people in a community that has existed in near total isolation from the rest of civilization for centuries this is the village of shishmaref by the arctic circle not too far away from the soviet union right off the tip of alaska and this dog sled is how they used to get information and messages back and forth which meant that not much did even with the advent of airplanes and cars it didn't help too much because it was so remote it actually wasn't until the space age came in that shishmaref was transformed space technology probably did as much to connect shishmaref to the rest of the world as it did to send man to the moon as much as possible they're going back in time one of the first things to happen to them was tv via satellite [Music] many of these eskimo children still haven't been out of themselves but they explained that they had already seen the world in ways their parents never dreamed of via tv their parents at best would have had one maybe two teachers to live in shishmaref and give them their entire education today a multitude of teachers and courses comes across to them on tv let me ask you do you think you learn a lot more having these programs come in on television than your parents did before they had this yeah yeah is it good to learn about the rest of the world and these names their parents harvested sea mammals and reindeer herds these children can now receive an entire college education via the satellite tv operator and the satellite telephone yes good afternoon this is charlie in dillingham calling for the conference this afternoon it's possible now with the technology that we have in some of the programs that are working between the community colleges and the university system that you can actually get an associate of arts degree by never attending a classroom by watching television programs you take for credit education and communication are done by alaskan satellite in shishwarap even medicine here is done by satellite the lone nurse responsible for this entire community is connected via a hotline to a team of doctors who are able to give her expert advice on a complicated case or rush in a plane for a patient in a genuine emergency situation in a community that still makes ob gyn calls on a dog sled shishmaref is not alone satellites have become so ubiquitous over the years that they have become not only the new dog sled on the ground but the earth's new workhorse in the sky the soviets say that they have done as much to help the soviet union as the eskimos in even very small and modest facilities which we have now in space already have changed our way of life we have space-based telecommunication which made our own planet as uh very uh home like now everyone could get a telephone call from another continent over the ocean instantly for cheaper price television any kind of service they've taken over so many jobs that filling the sky today is such a startling array of satellites that some worry that we are about to have the first traffic jam in space a lot of this traffic is from satellites beaming tv all over the earth because without question satellites are totally transforming the world of television [Music] a few years ago having the ayatollah khomeini broadcast live into your living room via satellite as he's about to take over iran would have been impossible [Music] today it's business as usual [Music] seeing the olympics live in your tent in saudi arabia and the past would have been unthinkable today it goes on every time the olympics go on this is the great wall of china it is said to be the only man-made object in short i can talk to you instantly from the great wall in china from the soviet union or from the straits of hormuz and plenty of it the ability to beam and receive tv pictures instantly around the world has totally changed what people can see hear and know about the world [Music] the impact of this politically and economically is so great that most experts feel that short of the invention of the television itself this has been the most important revolution in communication a revolution in both the content and the structure of a powerful industry houston now controlling mission control confirms role maneuvers started thrust looks good ken's rolling over completed one nautical mile in altitude throttling is down to 65 percent now his blackboard status looks good mission control thank you [Music] football match from brazil please check my video we see you tangler labels are excellent okay thank you hello some of the most significant changes were felt here this is abc and in the past it wielded an impressive amount of power over what people saw on television it was one of the four major networks that existed in the united states and the handful of people running them decided what you would see on television if they chose to spend the money to bring back film from a foreign war and put it on television you saw it if they didn't you didn't today that's all changed satellites today have made broadcasting so instant and so cheap that over a hundred different channels have sprung up in the united states alone news is coming instantly from everywhere in other words satellites change the power within a major industry in the united states and the news you see [Music] the change in communications has gone far beyond formal television broadcast we in fact have become a world of omnipresent information in which distances no longer mean much of anything almost anybody can see anybody for that matter almost anybody can talk to anybody via satellite anywhere instantly greetings from washington chancellor cole is with us all the way from athens greece along with you astronauts hovering in space with me here in washington and the whole world's listening this is one heck of a conference call the new world of conference calls and satellite phones is creating a new world of business possibilities you can now instantly phone your local stock broker in kuwait to trade some oil futures while you sit in london not only can you use the equipment to find better deals faster you can even use it to find people have the satellites made much of a difference with the search and rescue problem out here in alaska satellites have been a great innovation as far as the rescues have been concerned in fact before the american satellite was launched the russian satellite has been responsible for a total of almost 500 rescues throughout the whole united states in alaska itself it's been responsible for about 20 to 30 but now that we have our own american satellite up there that's helping out as well yeah march 2nd about 1700 hours we had a noaa helicopter was going to gnome the fairbanks had some bad weather and encountered some turbulence and he landed on the ice offshore from moses point wasn't sure where he was and he took off and hit some turbulence and crashed sarsat the satellite that picks up elt signals had picked up these different various hits and then we plotted them here on the board and the aircraft and area searching were picking up the elt in this area finally they went over and tried in this cluster and they found the helicopter offshore about 11 miles from moses point the civil air patrol plane found some hard ice landed nearby picked up two survivors who had spent the night and uh brought them back to gnome the next day they went out with another helicopter to try to recover the fuselage and the helicopter and the ice had drifted in helicopter and sun so these two men from miami florida were extremely lucky that the civil air patrol found them when they did because the next day their wreckage should suck the ubiquitous satellite however is only one part of the space age transformation of earth the second part of the story is computerization as the space race escalated billions of dollars were poured into designing ever more advanced computerization for the spacecraft the white house funded millions of dollars worth of r d in the computer world in addition the department of defense poured millions in for its own r d needs a lot of money goes into expensive technology the result is a technological revolution in computerization that is only beginning say the experts so that because of the orbit calculations which went on here at the smithsonian observatory it was necessary to have what was then the most advanced kind of computer that the scientists could get which happened to be an ibm 704 it filled an entire room because of all the vacuum tubes in it and it had such a small memory nowadays if you have a personal computer sitting on your desk you have far more memory and far more speed than that entire room had this will soon have further ramifications you'll be able to do your banking from home order your theater tickets from home check up to make sure you've locked the front door when you're away ibm of the old vacuum tube calculator began to get massive contracts from president kennedy to develop computerization to make the space program work he wanted something to guide the two-man gemini capsule guidance for the saturn launches to track the mercury vehicles and astronauts to compute theoretical space exploration to operate computers on the orbiting astronomical observatories and to land men on the moon to also computer enhanced photos of mars by the time it was all done ibm and others in the computer world had created electronic computers that could execute instructions in a billionth of a second they have perfected data processing that worked 400 times faster than it did in the mid 50s at 1 200th of the cost as one expert put it president kennedy probably did as much to create ibm as its own founder did together they created today's new world of high-tech computerization [Music] silicon valley and the microchip industry exploded onto the scene with a new world of high-tech fierce competition and billions of dollars to be made from products that are filtering down from space technology into the home and the office it has become a new world of miniaturized personal computers digitalized alarm clocks this new world of tiny ticking devices that can calculate think and perform along with the new lightweight materials to encase everything sent into space has begun to impact almost every walk of life one of them is medicine well see at the time that we were trying to put man in into space there wasn't anything any way really to do any kind of remote monitoring i mean physicians had traditionally been able to sit you on an examination table or here in a chair and take a stethoscope and my stethoscope tubes were this long and i put the stethoscope on you and here i was being asked to stretch a stethoscope really to 100 miles and finally 240 000 miles out to the moon and then we're talking about stretching it further out to mars it called for a whole new way of doing things and so we started doing that and as we began to develop that kind of instrumentation then all of the monitoring techniques that we have today whether you have a coronary and you end up getting picked up at home in an ambulance and your electrocardiogram can now be sent ahead to the hospital and they can be talking to the corpsman in the in the uh the technician in the ambulance and telling them what to do to you how you should be treated all of that came from our activity a president is shot president reagan is the first president in the history of the united states to have been hit by a bullet and survive the reason in large part is the technology this is the emergency room where they brought president reagan when he was shot here at george washington university hospital as at every other major big city hospital space age technology has completely infiltrated medical technology while this surgeon used laser beams to treat his patients problem the surgeon down the hall was using artificial arteries made from space materials to treat his patient according to him these are but a few of the medical techniques developing from space this is one of the latest devices from based technology and it's used as an implantable infusion pump we can infuse insulin cancer chemotherapeutic agents or antibiotics for prolonged intravenous infusion without patients having to have repeated injections or through having to come into the hospital for long periods of time one of the recent advances from space technology has been the development of digital subtraction arteriography this uses the same kind of technology that was used to photograph mars and saturn and is called computer enhancement of images and thus we can see that an arteriogram like this this shows this very tight narrowing of one of the blood vessels to the brain which we will then need to operate upon this is one of the older pacemakers a pacemaker is a device used to control heart rate and rhythm and in the past it was necessary to implant this under the skin in order to keep some people alive now with advanced miniaturization technology as well as lighter weight materials we're able to implant much smaller devices and they last five times as long as you can imagine this has led to dramatic improvements in the quality of patients lives [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] look at that geeking out geeking out pretty hard 1986 uh pacific productions i don't know who that is uh lucerne i do have quite a few films uh distributed by them um and obviously this was a kinescope so we're gonna geek out a little bit more basically kinescope is something that was edited on video might have been shot on video then they set up a film camera on a high resolution monitor which was high-res at the time with a sound [Music] sometimes it would have an auracon to record the sound sometimes not and they would record it and record it in such a way that there wasn't interlacing and then they would distribute that film and the reason why they would do that is because uh videotape players were uh more scarce and so if they wanted to distribute to schools a lot of schools most schools had 16 millimeter technology but most of them did not have a videotape yet so that's why that happens and why you saw that um i've seen crazy examples where they go from they shot on film they transferred it to video they edit it in video then they transfer it back to film and it's kind of this weird photocopied weird graininess um anyways thanks for joining us today it's very much appreciated all your comments uh and thank you uh is it newly who is it newly for buying this coffee you can buy his coffee by going to ko-fi.com av geeks you can also go to avgeeks.com and see other things that we've digitized and put online and somebody just questioned kinescopes meant that tvs had the same frame rate as film no uh basically you had an exposure on your film so that you would accommodate the strobe um because it's videos 2.9 i'm sorry it's 29 um dot seven nine something some nine seven six something some anyways um yeah so you would set the the the camera would have a certain exposure time so that you would get um you wouldn't get that strobe uh anyways thanks for joining us if you like what you saw you can hit the thumbs up buttons even if you've done it in the past do it again how about that and you can subscribe and share and we'll be back again tomorrow so many more films to watch so many more films to share and i'm happy that you guys are there to share them every rest today and i will see you tomorrow take care you
