Unfortunately the dry cleaning chemicals that were used turned out to be hazardous and not environmentally friendly, and the deployment of the machines was short lived. At 1:44 another Westinghouse commercial presents some of the finalists of the 1962 Westinghouse Science Talent Search. At 2:00 Barry Cook explains his robot called Prometheus which was powered by a sewing machine motor and directed by coffee machine solenoids. At 2:32, Lewis Haberly discusses his experiment to determine if fish can hear. At 3:09 Donna Hayes discusses atomic energy and shows off her Van De Graaf generator. At 3:32 Mitchell Fruitstone discusses the drug Interferon and its use against herpes simplex. Here's a brief history of this event: While attending the 1939 New York World’s Fair, G. Edward Pendray, a Westinghouse executive, and Watson Davis, director of Science Service (now Society for Science & the Public) began discussing ways to encourage more students to pursue science careers. They decided on a national competition - Westinghouse agreed to provide prize money and cover administrative costs and Science Service took on the task of running it. In 1998, Intel Corporation became the title sponsor of the competition, continuing what has become an American institution designed to encourage young people to pursue careers in science, math, engineering and medicine. In 2016, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals became the next sponsor to carry on the Science Talent Search. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
