Teaching Machines: A Challenging Market for 8mm

Teaching machines are a relatively new development offering much promise in improving educational practices. Using a variety of presentation modes and immediate reinforcement of appropriate behavior, they can be programed to teach while using the best educational and psychological principles. One estimate of the potential market, including programs and machines, is $100,000,000 for the period through 1965. 8mm film seems to offer the most promise for use in the more advanced teaching machines. An idealized 8mm film system, its functions and its cost are discussed.
