I'm surprised it even had audio!!! I'm posting some stuff this weekend that I just found. Some reels and projector (working!) from New York stuff in 1941. I'm going to capture it with my HD camera and put it up. I love all this classic stuff man... thanks for sharing this.

The audio seems to be messed up at the beginning.

The account of Mr. Carver's life is a very interesting read. Especially when you meet people who knew him!
