Navy expands video training for Merchant Marine cadets
The Navy inducts Professor Video Elevation as a mass training medium and launches the first educational video network. A Sands Point New York studio telecasts weekly ordnance and gunnery lectures to Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy cadets about 4.7 miles away. Control room technicians monitor onstage images to choose shots and angles while classroom projectors vary from 18 by 22 inches to 18 by 22 feet for close inspection.
