Type:
Archival materials
Date:
circa 1955
Scope and Contents:
Staged commercial photograph with models. This type of television played two different stations simultaneously because it was actually two televisions in the same cabinet, with mirrors and polarizers to combine the images. One station was visible and audible without special equipment (?); the second station required the Polaroid glasses and earpieces, so two programs could be viewed on one television by two different viewers or groups. While Polaroid glasses were generally used to combine two images in the viewers' minds, in this case the glasses were used to separate superimposed visual signals. The Duoscopic was never introduced to the consumer market because it was a "goofy idea," as some commentators have written--it was merely an alternative to buying two televisions.

This series includes correspondence, photographs, and other ephemeral objects mostly created by young Cuban girls who were relocated to the United States as part of Operation Pedro Pan. Some of the girls went on to participate in the oral histories (as adults) collected by NMAH. The bulk of the materials is from sisters Lola and Margarita Prats. Letters are addressed to their temporary foster family and relatives. Other material (photographs, drawings, and a case file) documents other girls' experiences in Cuba and the United States. Some of the earlier dated content and official records from the Catholic churces is in Spanish.
Collection Restrictions:

Photograph album and scrapbooks compiled by Blanch Anderson Kitteredge on Winton Company employees and actvities, as well the Winton and Anderson families of Cleveland, Ohio.
Scope and Contents:
This collection consists of a photograph album and two scrapbooks compiled by Blanch Anderson Kitteredge, wife of Harold B. Anderson, and Lewis Harris Kitteredge. The photographs depict Alexander Winton; employees of the Winton Co. and their families; the Winton touring car; the Winton Bullet No. 2 (including being shipped in 1903 to Ireland for fourth Gordon Bennett Race, views of the car in Ireland, and during the race); other racing cars; family travels; steam yachts; homes; friends and relatives; and leisure activities. The scrapbooks contain programs, ribbons, news clippings, and other ephemera related to leisure activities and life of the Winton and Anderson families in Cleveland from the 1890s to the 1920s.
Biographical / Historical:
Alexander Winton was a builder and driver of early racing cars. His third racing car, called the "Bullet No. 2", was one of the first automobiles to use an 8-cylinder, in-line engine. Winton and Harold B. Anderson, chief engineer of Winton Motor Carriage Company, built this automobile for the fourth Gordon Bennett road race, held in Ireland in 1903. The car was forced
out of the race due to mechanical problems. A good account of the automobile, which is in the Smithsonian's transportation collections, can be seen in Donald H. Berkebile and Smith Hempstone Oliver's book, The Smithsonian Collection of Automobiles and Motorcycles, City of Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1968.

The documentary 'Dance Party: The Teenarama Story' examined the popularity of 1950s and 1960s teen dance television shows, including 'The Teenarama Dance Party,' 'American Bandstand,' 'The Buddy Dean Show,' and 'The Milt Grant Show.' 'The Teenarama Dance Party' was an all-black teen dance show produced and broadcasted in Washington, D.C. The show aired from March 7, 1963 to November 20, 1970 on WOOK-TV Channel 14, which was the nation's first Black TV station. The show was produced live six days a week; and hosted first by Bob King and later by a rotation of hosts. In addition to being a dance show, 'The Teenarama Dance Party' was a training ground for teens. Production staff mentored the teenagers in the art of broadcast production. The teens trained as camera operators, floor directors, and technical engineers; and served as production assistants.
