Rescued lorry sales films made when featured model was new or current Rare.

Description: These lorry sales films were made to feature a specific model or range. Others were made to promote a particular technique They were shown to meetings of drivers, operators, dealers, or technicians or of course students. Films were also useful when addressing specialist groups and as part of a show or in support of a dealers open day which could be in another country. Before television and video if a particular lorry was not there this was the only way to show it in use. at work, or actually moving. This makes them far more interesting than even a glossy colour leaflet. Bear in mind most of the lorries featured were only just introduced when a particular film was made. The object was to encourage people who saw the film to think better of the films sponsors. This may be to order a specific machine or consumable stores or to adapt a particular technique that they were advocating. Before television was widespread a film show was sufficient attraction to get people to travel to a Village Hall or other place to watch the films even after a hard days work so the producers would ensure they were not too boring. Now of course they are fascinating not just for the machines featured but what else was shown in the background. These used to be a vital method of getting the sales message across. Only a very few copies were made of a particular title due to the cost of film. Once the model featured was superseded the title would be deleted and the films typically discarded. These titles are typical of the sort of films that have somehow survived long enough to be rescued by the Dustbin Film Collection. By you having your own DVD record of a film its contents can be studied without risk of damage to what could be the last remaining copy of an old film.
