The original release sheet reads:

 The spectacular growth of audio-visual aids in military training was part of our response to the sudden challenge of World War II. Since then, the never-ending tension of world affairs and the ever-expanding frontiers of human knowledge have made such tools for learning an integral part of our education and training system. This week's THE BIG PICTURE surveys the development of multi-sensory aids and devices for our modern Army. From simple working models of mechanical devices to the extremely detailed motivational and instructional modern motion picture film, the field of audio-visual aids has kept pace with the complexity of modern warfare.
