as I recall those came as a package along with a motion picture camera with which to play them.

I once had a set of slides with a viewer for use as a teaching tool for salesmen I got from a dealership.

My Dad was the worlds biggest scavanger. He once brought home a slide projector/record player that was used sales. You would start the record and when in the dialog it would beep and the slide would change. I think it was made for some kind of big show as the slides racks were of different styles and models.

I have several of these Hudson training film strips on a DVD that also includes old Hudson promotional movies and television commercials from about 1952 to 1956 (includes '54 commercials too). Purchased on Ebay from someone in Canada.

I got the projector, the leather case, the training films and all the records. There was a similar set offered in WTN a couple issues ago.

I love getting a hold of neat items like that. I have four Hudson Jet records. They play on the 33 rpm setting, but are much larger at around 18 inches across. Todays records players don't have long enough arms to play it. We had to buy a vintage record player from the fifties that played 78's and 33's to hear it. I had my husband dub it to cd so I can play it for people and keep the original records in mint condition.



For those who have the Hudson film reals, you should consider having them put on dvd. Not only to preserver the footage, but for easier viewing.

HET store has complete set of training films with sound on DVD for sale.

I would assume that these filmstrips would be similar to those used in schools when I went to school in the fifties and when I taught school in the sixties, seventies and maybe even the eighties. It was basically slide film that was not cut and mounted but left as a long rolled up strip. You would need a filmstrip projector to show these darn things and some did have records or cassette tapes that went with them. Most of them had the text printed along with the pictures. This technology went the way of the Dodo when videos and computers came along. When I retired three years ago I think one of those filmstrip projectors was still collecting dust in a cupboard.
