📡Hellow! I have a small announcemunt. Earlier this week I did a soft opening of a little community media project I’m calling @topo_libraries ! Go give the project a read / let me know If you might be interested or even better, send it to a friend! —————- I’m looking for auditory contributors every month so go give it a follow and send me a dm to sign up 🎞️ 📡 ———————— (!!!)

You will get 30 days to submit your audio once you receive the clip so keep that in mind <3 love chris

//CRYSTALS Sound : @ndorser Video : CRYSTALS (1958) : ALAN HOLDEN : Bell Laboratories Description : “This film from 1958 and made by the Physical Science Study Committee shows Alan Holden from the Bell Laboratories explaining how crystals are formed and why they are shaped the way they are. The film goes on to show crystals growing while under a microscope. Alan Holden (1904-1985) was a physicist who helped to develop sonar equipment used to detect submarines during World War II. Born in New York City, went to work for the Bell Laboratories Division of the American Telephone and Telegraph Corporation in N.J., after receiving his bachelor's degree from Harvard in physics and mathematics in 1925. Later, in 1935, he joined the research staff where he worked as a physicist until retiring in 1960. During World War II, he helped to develop methods for producing the large crystals that form the heart of the sonar equipment used by the United States Navy to locate enemy submarines. The Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC), made up of a group of MIT scientists, created a series of films in the late 1950s and early 1960s aimed at teaching the physical sciences” -archive.org
