This 16mm reel has lost all its color, but what a document it is of a time when spending all day hovering over open beakers of ether and acetone (or mixing them together - even better) was just fine.  You'd come-to eating a sandwich in a strange place having no idea how you got  there or what it was you'd been doing all day.  Oh, those free-wheeling days of science!  Enjoy!
