The Fuji Super-8 Press Conference

 
The Fuji Photo Film Company Ltd, of Tokyo Japan, has a new Super-8 format movie system, which was introduced at a special press conference held at the Hotel Pierre in New York. Fuji was represented by a contingent of Japanese officials and Mr. Leonard C. Rattner, their advertising public relations representative in the USA. …After coffee and dessert, Mr. Rattner proceeds to the head of that table towards four ‘flip-chart’ stands.

We soon find how significant this conference might prove to be when he introduces himself and outlines and demonstrates ‘the New Fuji Single Straight Super-8 Cartridge System. The Fuji Single Super-8 System is so unique and its appeal so broad it has been adopted by 15 other camera and film manufactures.
