Jam Handy sales films

[Mr70]

I am Familair with them.
I have collected each month from Sept.1965-January 1973.
These films came with the Communication Kits and were sent out each month to the dealership by the Zone office.I think they started producing these in the 1940's up to the Dec.1972,then they went to a movie diskete.
It was a 16" X 11" X 2" slide box filled with pamphlets,brochures,etc. & 35mm filmstrips.They informed the Salesmen about everything from what was New & upcoming,customer satisfaction,How to sell & listen,promotions,model line development,etc.
All are very interesting to be sure.
Jam Handy was the Company that produced these for Chevrolet,& others.
You need a 35mm Filmstrip projector to show those films,& look for one with a turntable on the back of it,or use a distant turntable.There is no sound on the filmstrips,but there was a 33&1/3 or 45 record that accompanied each film.When the record narrator,(Hardsil Wilson),finishes,you advance the frame after the BEEP.
There was also a Viewer Box they made to watch these on in the dealership,but I have one & it is really not as good as the trustworthy Projector & screen setup.

Jam Handy also did short films that did the round up of special promotional events. Of note were the Chevrolet Indy 500 wrap up films which were sometimes shown on local TV. I recall Seeing these as a child in the late 60's as the post game/sporting event "shorts" that were used as programming fillers, usually on Saturday or Sunday in the Afternoons.

You're right Phil.
Those were usually 16mm talking movies,and very unique in their own right.
I have a few,one is a 1970 film called,"Faces Of Conflict",hosted by Evil Knievel.It looks to have been for Network air.
