Hello, I am trying to track down and acquire the four animated educational films that were produced for General Motors "Power Primer" series, and starred the characters Air, Fuel, and Ignition. The four cartoons consisted of:
"The ABC of the Internal Combustion Engine" (1948, produced by Herb Lamb Productions)
"The ABC of the Automobile Engine" (1948, produced by Sound Masters)
"The ABC of the Diesel Engine" (1950, produced by Sound Masters and sub contracted to Film Graphics)
"The ABC of Jet Propulsion"(1954, produced by Sound Masters)
Thank you

Hi Jonathan,

I have just completed scanning the film "The ABC of the Internal Combustion Engine". It should be available in a low res mp4 version at our website: http://digital.hagley.org/
by next week. If you would like a high res version, please contact Lynsey Sczechowicz, our Reference Archivist at lsczechowicz@hagley.org and she can assist you.
