Unedited Motion Picture Film Clips, circa 1925-1935; 7 reels totaling 3200 feet; 35 minutes running time. Digital duplication master and DVD use copy are available.
These clips are original 35 mm nitrate motion picture film negatives and include footage of a variety of subjects. Many of the clips pertain to alpine search and rescue and may have been shot to produce a training film; these clips include footage of mountaineers on Mount Hood, staged rescue of an injured climber, use of portable radio to call for assistance; and evacuation of the injured man by car and airplane. One of the rescuers is wearing a patch “Crag Rats Hood River”. The Crag Rats were founded in 1926 and are the oldest mountain search and rescue organization in the United States.
The clips also include footage of Benjamin A. Gifford at his home at Salmon Creek, Washington; two young women with a motorized toy boat in a stream; a home, pond, and natural spring or water feature; a family at the beach; two boys (with their mother?) going to school; an airplane taking of and landing at the beach and in a field; footage or Mt. Hood shot during an airplane flight; and a radio operator.
There is also footage of a traffic survey station and motor truck scale, perhaps in Portland, that includes weighing, measurement, and inspection of a Carstens truck.
