From a letter found with this film:

"Here is your movie...Thank you for your recent request for our 16mm film that illustrate the new Adage Graphic Terminal in action. We are happy to enclose this film and sincerely hope that it will be useful.

To praphrase Confucius, the film you are about to see is worth more than a milion words. Ina little more than one minute of running time, this film will bring you face-to-face with a significant step forward in the technology of computer graphics. The film titles and the moving 3-D images of the Lunar Excursion Module "in flight" were created by tge Adage Graphics Terminal and filmed in real-time. The action you see was filmed continuously - no special techinuques like signle frame filming or stop-action shots were used.

This film may be seen on ay 16mm projector. Although there is no sound track, the film should be seen at regular sound speed (24 frames per second). Because the film is meaningful when seen run either forward or backward, we recommend that the projector be put into its REVERSE position when the tilte THE END appears on your screen.

Again thank you for your interest in the Adage Graphics Terminal. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Very truly yours,
