If I got this thing for my social group, I would feel ripped off, even though it was for free!
On the other hand, there were many industrial films that were really entertaining and/or educational. When Channel 32 (now the FOX station) in Chicago first went on the air, it did a cheap but wonderful program showing these films, introduced by Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune theater/film critic. Some of the best showed how something was manufactured, without words. Two I recall were Oreo cookies and Western Electric telephone cable. There was also the occasional commercial message, but with some redeeming humor. The most popular (yes, there were repeat requests) was titled "A John Is a John Is a John" and touted a ventilated toilet to remove foul odors from the bathroom.
