Carlon Flex-Plus® Blue™ ENT - Played on the Fairchild Projector

Flex-Plus® Blue™ ENT is a nonmetallic flexible raceway for use in walls, floors, and non-plenum ceilings. It's lightweight, hand bendable, and free from sharp edges, which reduces installation time and saves money.
This film is hosted by Wally Schirra and was released in the early 1980s. Schirra was one of the original Mercury 7 NASA astronauts (America's first effort to put men in space). In 1962, he became the fifth American to fly in space, and was the only astronaut to fly in all of America's first three space programs (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo). He died on May 3, 2007 in La Jolla, California, USA.
Transferring film to video without expensive equipment is difficult! Flicker is the biggest issue. To make this video possible, I downloaded an App called ProMovie. The app allowed me to set the shutter speed to 50, iso to 30 and WB to 4000k. I shot it at 24fps @ 1080p. When the video was rendered, the audio and video were out of sync, so I had to split out the audio and re-sync with the video. I did not run the audio directly since the player has hum in the output, plus you would lose the joy of hearing the machine noise.

Seeing old American films like this you realise the gap between usa and your country..all these materials and technology arrives 10 to 20 yrs later depending on the country!nice job btw, love your videos!

[@GiddeonFox]

I grew up near where a lot of this was filmed! It's so weird seeing the KSC Visitor's Center from years before I was born.

[@1arebeast]

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

[@donbest5024]

Watching a film like this reminds me of being in high school, our teacher would play a similar film and we had to pay attention because at the end teacher would give us a written test on what we just watched.

See, I knew you were the right guy.

I used that blue flexible ENT when I wired my parents basement when I was 12. (1998ish) haha. The comment about PVC smoke being "equal to wood" definitely didn't hold up... PVC is way worse than wood burning. lol.

[@5roundsrapid263]

True, but there’s a lot more wood in the average building. Either way, you should be out of the building ASAP… 😄

That plastic stuff didn't last all that long. They've gone back to metal.
