    Description

    The only reference I can even find to this film existing was in a gift to the Division of Rare Books and Special Collections of The University of Wyoming. It was given to them by the Potter, Orchard and Petrie firm. Johnson Potter, Thomas Orchard and James Petrie formed the film production firm of Potter, Orchard, & Petrie in 1964. The company produced public relations, advertising, training, and community action films for a variety of corporate and non-profit clients.
    The film is titled 'V' of Versatility. It was addressed to AMF THERMATOOL, INC., BEECHWOOD AVENUE., NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.  While I do not see a date on the film itself, the University of Wyoming's finding guide lists the film as 1966.  AMF is the American Machine Foundry and produced high-frequency welding equipment for industrial purposes.
    The film appears to be in good condition. There are no strong odors from the case and the film doesn't seem brittle.  I have no way to play it to see what is on the sound.
    The buyer gets the exact film in the picture. This is not a modern copy.
