This film deals with the maths topic of "powers of ten". I have only seen the film once at a university lecture and that was some 25 years ago.
I remember the film was produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Has this title ever been released on 8mm?

Gordon,

Some Canadian Film Board Films have appeared on 8mm ( I have one on my lists right now ) but I have never seen this one advertised. They mainly appeared in the late 1970's from several sources (I suppose these films were cheaper to get the rights too!), most with pretty decent print qualities, but I don't think they sold too well, as you don't see them too often on dealers lists.
