Global Concepts in Maps (Highlights) - 1947

Uploaded by: AaronChrisBall
Video Description:
Boy Danny just doesn't "get" why map projections are important for him to understand. Actually, neither do we after watching this film! But after an afternoon visit from the disembodied voice of our narrator, Danny seems to understand that global map projections are relevent to his life. Highly entertaining way of learning the various concepts of global cartography, from "conical projections," to "topigraphical projections," every imaginable global map distortion is represented here!
Note: The following clip was taken directly from the original 16mm print and has been edited to a mere fraction of the film's original length. Visit www.thinkstreamfilms.blogspot.com for the complete article, "Those Conical Projections Look a Little Flat...." Bid on the complete, original 16mm p
rint on eBay through 1/17/2007!
