About

"San Antonio, TX: navigators on sea or land, or in the air, now can tell their position in less than a minute, no matter what atmospheric conditions may prevail. The Hagner Position Finder does away with logarithms and the old, difficult process of navigation." (2) One-Man Band - "New York City: Elmer Trudgen, a Canadian farmboy, shows Gotham that the One-Man Band is not langer imagination. He has a contraption that enables him to play the piano, violin, guitar, harmonica, bass drum, snare drum, triangle, wood blocks, cymbals, cowbells and chime - all at once!" (3) "London Busmen Go On Strike - "London, England: On the very eve of Coronation festivities, busmen in the British capital knock transportation into a cocked hat by going on strike. The streets look deserted, and would-be-bus-passengers wear out show leather and ancient pavements." (4) Professor Invents Sleeve Protector - "Waukesha, Wisconsin: Dear old Prof. I. M. Nutts is in again, with a new device to take the viciousness out of the most untamed piece of butter that ever disgraced a table, or smeared your sleeves. You can reach over the oleo in perfect safety with the Prof's new gadget." (some parts silent in this partial newsreel without narration)

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
