Re: Physics Videos

[Greg Clements <clements@CAMPUS.MLC.EDU>]

I use a VHS tape from EME (Educational Materials and Equipment Company) called
"Experiments in Space", copyright 1978.  It has no-narration video clips as follows:
1. Galileo's Experiment on the Moon, 2. Mass and Weight in Orbit, 3. Conservation of
Astronaut Angular Momentum, 4. Projectile Motion , 5. The Sun: Prominences and Flares,
6. Behavior of Water in Space, 7. Characteristics of a Gyroscope, 8. Earth's Magnetic
Field.  Segments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 were photographed inside Skylab .. the USA space
station (of the early 70's?).

The company address is (was?) PO Box 17, Pelham, NY 10803  Phone: 914-576-1121.  I did
an Internet search for the company and did not find any results.  The Skylab segments
were originally made for the Super-8 format, I believe.
