This is a nice 6-minute science reel on how radio works. Unfortunately the video lacks any context so it's origin is unknown. It is in the Prelinger Archives on archive.org, which is likely how it came to be preserved at all. The Prelinger Archives were founded in 1983 by Rick Prelinger in New York City. It is a a broad collection of over 60,000 ephemeral films in various formats. In 2002 it was acquired by the Library of Congress.
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules.
Very enjoyable vintage film. They just don't make them like this anymore.

What a wonderful find! I shared your post with the forum community over at HobbyBroadcaster.net as many visitors can benefit from learning about the basics of AM radio transmission. Thanks for digging this one up and out of obscurity.
