Lloyd's Coffee House (1960)

Lloyd's Coffee House was a coffee shop in London originally on Tower Street in around 1688. The coffehouse was a popular place for sailors, merchants and shipowners. While drinking coffee they got the news on shipping and goods from Mr. Lloyd. Various M/Ss of exteriors of modern buildings in London; Castrol building in Marylebone Road; an unidentified one, possibly in Berners Street, with an interesting corrugated canopy above it; Sanderson building in Berners Street - all are "somewhat characterless" as the commentator says. M/Ss of the Lloyd's of London building in the City; it looks fairly modern, not sure when it was built, but it does have much more character than the flat glass-fronted buildings we saw previously. M/S of a recreation of Lloyd's Coffee House in London as it looked when it opened in 1688; a man carries in a sack of coffee beans; another sweeps the paving stones outside; two gentlemen approach the entrance and go in - all are wearing 1680s costume; the two gents wear curly wigs and tricorn hats. M/Ss inside the coffee house as the men stand at the bar and watch a grinning serving wench grind some coffee beans; a serving man drawers some hot water from a large copper urn in the fireplace into one of a row of copper coffee pots. Commentator tells us "Edward Lloyd catered for ships' captains and merchants... he even started an intelligence-cum-news service, dispatching runners to the docks to fetch the latest shipping news...he also held auctions...let's listen", and we see in M/S a gentleman sitting at a table with a younger man; a serving man brings their coffee and we hear natural sound as the older one explains the candle auction process to the younger. The property being auctioned goes to the man who bids last before the candle goes out. M/S of a blackboard in the coffee house; written on it are details of a ship 'For Sale by Inch of Candle'. M/Ss of men, some smoking clay pipes, sitting at tables who bid for the ship (in natural sound) intercut with C/Us of a candle about to go out. One of the men bids 1200 guineas just before the candle goes out. M/S of the scene inside the coffee house as the owner calls out "Sold to Mr Durant for 1200 guineas". Commentator says "Because of this concentration of captains and merchants, the insurance brokers of the time began going here instead of from office to office", and we see in various M/Ss and hear in natural sound an insurance broker going from table to table discussing insurance of a ship called 'The Worcester'. He exchanges greetings and obtains the signatures of two men, shakes hands with the second one and walks out of the coffee house. Note: print used for transfer; mute neg is incomplete. The documentary 'This Is Lloyd's' (see separate record) contains footage that was probably shot at the same time as this reconstruction of 1688 (same sets, costumes etc).

Apollo 8's Christmas Eve Message [HD]

Produced for use at our church's Christmas Eve service, December 24th, 2013. Version without background track now available: https://youtu.be/t3LIvb1Nzak On December 24th, 1968, Apollo 8 made its final pass around the moon and the crew, in turn, sent home this message: Bill Anders "We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.'" Jim Lovell "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." Frank Borman "'And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.' And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas -- and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth."

PERT PROGRAM & U.S. NAVY POLARIS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE DEVELOPMENT 51634

This 1960s unclassified color film “Breakthrough” is about using PERT, the Navy’s technique for managing large-scale R&D programs, to develop nuclear-powered submarines and Polaris missiles two years ahead of schedule. It was produced by the United States Navy Special Projects Office and Merit Film Productions. A Polaris missile launches from a submarine (:38-1:25). The USS George Washington moves across the ocean’s surface (1:26-1:45). A man speaks to a small group of military officers about development of the Fleet Ballistic Missile Weapons System, which started in 1955 (1:46-2:53). It required astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, and physicists (2:54-3:06). A table-top model is shown, followed by large-scale simulators and equipment rooms (3:07-3:50). The camera looks down on a nuclear-submarine being built (3:51-3:55). The Polaris also required large-scale research (3:56-4:06). A flight test missile vehicle is shown (4:07-4:12). A safe propellent fuel and the mechanism for launch are tested (4:13-4:30). Various individuals work on components (4:31-4:55). Nuclear-powered submarines shown christened and launched in 1959 are USS George Washington (5:40), USS Patrick Henry (5:55), USS Theodore Roosevelt (6:13), USS Robert E. Lee (6:35), and in 1960, USS Abraham Lincoln (6:47). Operation Peashooter and Operation Skycatch tested future Polaris capabilities (7:00-7:21), Underwater launches were tested in Operation Popup (7:22-7:40). A successful test launch of a Polaris test vehicle was made in August, 1959 (7:41-8:01), followed by successful land-based launches (8:02-8:40), Another milestone in April, 1960 was the underwater launch of a test vehicle (8:41-9:00), followed by another in July from the USS George Washington (9:01-9:31). The agencies, universities, institutions, and industries part of the development are listed (9:33-9:52). PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) charts are shown to a room of military personnel (10:05-11:05). To use PERT, a program network chart is created in reverse order. Various renditions are shown in different meeting rooms to different groups, including fabrication, assembly and testing. (11:20-13:50). Three time estimates are attached to each network activity and probability-to-complete determined, as diagrammed (13:51-16:42). These stats are fed into the Navy’s IBM Naval Ordnance Research Calculator, shown in action (16:43-17:15). The many different forms printed out are shown and explained in detail (17:16-20:45). A schematic of how the time information is used is shown in detail, including finding slack areas. Computer models are run to help define these (20:46-24:47). PERT, simplified in a graphic, is shown as a management technique that creates network collaboration between all parties involved. The PERT system in operation is again shown using an animated schematic (24:48-27:41). A sample PERT network is shown to the group of officers and another between Lockheed and GE (27:55-29:55). The Naval Ordnance Research Calculator is shown again (29:56-30:10). Company PERT computer systems shown are Aerojet General and its IBM 704 (30:11), Lockheed and its IBM 709 (30:17), and Sperry and its UNIVAC (30:26). A list of nationwide companies and institutions using the PERT process are scrolled on the screen (30:27-31:00). A Polaris missile is launched from underwater (31:01-31:26).
