A Suggestion for a New Film Format for Educational use

The new motion-picture film format has special merit for the educational community. It is easily adaptable, using a 17½mm film width with properties similar to those of super 8mm film. Four separate soundtracks are on the nonperforated edge of the film. The film is projected at 24 frames/s, resulting in a film soundtrack speed of 8 in./s. The system is self-rewinding, and optical soundtracks are possible at little extra expense per copy. In volume production, a color, sound print would cost only about 25% the price of a 16mm color, sound equivalent.
