Abstract
IT may not be generally known that there exists in London an organisation specializing in circulation (free of charge to responsible bodies such as educational and Service authorities) of 35 mm. and 16 mm. sound and silent documentary instructional films. The August catalogue has reached us from the Petroleum Films Bureau, 46 St. James' Place, London, S.W.I, sponsors of this scheme, from which it is clear that the range of subjects covered is not limited to varying aspects of the oil industry. Titles of general interest include the microscope, microscopy of opaque objects, hydraulics and hospital service. "How Oil is Produced and Refined" is covered by fifteen different reels giving a total of more than three hours showing. Other sections deal with automobile engineering and road safety for children. Short synopses of each film are available ; also lantern slides, with appropriate lecture notes, on the subject "About Oil" can be borrowed to illustrate the early history of oil, its nature, origin, production, refining and transportation. This is a valuable scheme, capable of great expansion and certain of support in lecture theatre, classroom, drill hall and, presumably, the home.
