This film "A Light in Nature" was directed by Ramsay Short and Michael Orrom (:36) and details scientific advances in the 1960’s. Topics covered include study of radioactivity, astronomy, materials science, geology, biophysics, oceanography and the discovery of DNA, among others. It features cinematography by the incredible Winton Hotch. Production of the film was to coincide with tercentenary of the Royal Society as tribute. It is a Shell Oil Company film (:43). Opening scenes show men carrying wooden canoes into a cold river in Scotland (:55). Snow crusted mountains rise in the background (1:18). Scientists drag up a specimen of nitella (1:28). Nitella is a genus of charophyte green algae. A scientist looks at the specimen under a microscope (1:45). The narrator mentions nitella has electrical properties similar to that of human nerves. A view is presented looking through the microscope (2:07). The BARC Atomic Reactor (2:13) appears in Trombay; the eastern suburb of Mumbai (Bombay). A scientist works to release the energy from the atoms of a heavy metal (2:24). The 200 inch Hale telescope is angled on Palomar mountain (2:37).

Doctors operate on a cancer patient at the New England Deaconess Hospital, in Boston. Cancerous tissue excised from patient's body during surgery is saved to test behavior of the cells when exposed to radiation. The tissues are cultivated and then.examined under microscopes fitted with a movie camera. Cells divide. Radioactive material in a pack with warning, 'Hazard' written on it. A doctor exposes cancerous tissue to the radioactive material. Cancer cells die after exposure. Exterior view of the White Plains Hospital building in White Plains New York.

Mitosis

CELLS DIVIDE

Fluorescent light microscopy of cultured human cancer cells showing one undergoing mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cell division). Mitosis is the formation of two daughter nuclei from one parent nucleus. Fluorescent markers have been used to highlight DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink) and alpha tubulin (green), a component of microtubules. The cycle is first seen in interphase with its nucleus clearly visible. At prophase, the nuclear envelope dissolves and the chromosomes condense. The cell progress through prometaphase to metaphase, where the chromosomes align along the centre of the cell. The chromosomes start to move to the opposite poles, guided by microtubules, during anaphase. The last stage of mitosis is telophase, when the separated chromosomes have moved to opposite ends of the cell and two new nuclei form around them. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm of the cell in two, separating the cells. Filmed over 5 days.

This film is a classic United Airlines promotional film, showing the activities of the airline in the late 1950s. There are a number of different types of aircraft shown, including venerable DC-3 aircraft and the DC-6 which entered service in 1946. In addition to passenger operations, there's an extended portion of the film dedicated to maintaining the planes. The underlying message of course is to allay safety concerns, and to demonstrate that air travel is safe, and that planes are superbly inspected and maintained on a scheduled basis, and prior to every flight!<p><p>The ?lm begins (01:00:14.22) showing the Douglas DC-6 Mainliner. During an inspection, ground crew begin taking apart an 18 cylinder wasp piston engine. The engine components are taken apart and sent to be tested and cleaned. (01:01:03:12) Aircraft interior is being stripped and cleaned while the outside mechanical gear and parts are being tested and inspected by “top instrument craftsmen”. (01:02:33:00) Engines are being reassembled. After 5 hours of being run in a test cell the engine is deemed ready for takeoff! (01:03:20:00) Engine is returned to the dock and placed back onto the wing. (01:04:31:00) United 6534 is taken on a test flight and completes its test run. (01:10:55:00) United 6534 begins takeoff heading to Chicago with passengers onboard. (01:15:06:00) Aircraft shown ?ying eastward across the Continental Divide, stewardesses serve passengers their in-?ight meal. (01:16:25:00) explanation of how the instrument landing system “ILS” works as the plane approaches its destination.(01:19:25) Landing gear is in place as the aircraft begins to descend towards the runway.(01:20:47:00) United 6534 lands and arrives to Chicago. (01:52:00) A new plane crew goes aboard United 6354 as they take off to New York. (01:22:43:00) United 6534 is shown ?ying over New York City. (01:23:31) Landing gear is out as the plane approaches its destination, aircraft lands. Narrator points out the aircraft ?rst ?ew from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York. End shows the front of United #6534, ready for another trip (01:24:29:00) <p><p>The Douglas DC-6 is a piston-powered airliner and transport aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1946 to 1958. Originally intended as a military transport near the end of World War II, it was reworked after the war to compete with the Lockheed Constellation in the long-range commercial transport market. More than 700 were built and many still fly today in cargo, military and wildfire control roles.<p><p>This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.
