This showed up in my "Home Movies" Google Alert. It reminds me of
that other film-on-vinyl system from a few years ago (whose name I
can't recall right now).

Modern Mechanics, 1932
Home Movies From Phonograph Records

PLAY a moving picture from a phonograph record!

When Baird, the English television experimenter, suggested this system
several years ago, he did not realize how soon it would be before his
prophecy would come true.

Those who have listened to television programs know that the signals
become audible in the form of a shrill whistle in the loudspeaker.
This whistle carries the picture elements in the form of modulated
sound.

If we pass this sound through suitable apparatus it becomes capable of
reproducing a picture. It is obvious, then, that we could record this
sound on a phonograph record and "can" a picture just as we now "can"
sound in the form of music.

The sound, in the form of electric current, is taken from the
phonograph record by means of a specially designed electrical pick-up.
From this point it is carried to an amplifier and thence to a
television crater tube. At this point the image is thrown on the
screen.

While much remains to be done to develop this apparatus, we may look
forward to the day when our moving pictures will come in this new and
convenient form.
