During the time frame after the cameras were sent back to Cincinnati, and the RCA cameras arrived from Cleveland, John Hall and I developed a slide show called The Newark Test. We asked viewers to take the test on a form printed in The Advocate. A
slide of the Newark area was shown, then the correct multiple choice answer. Everything started out good - Show the picture, ask the multiple choice question, and then show a slide of the correct answer of A, B,C, or D.

We had a back up Kodak carousel projector, and a spare bulb. After about 10-minutes we were "sliding down the hill." Projector bulb burns out (of course); spare projector pressed into service as the slides were being transferred to the back-up projector. The
picture slides in the transfer didn't get in the exact right order and of course the letter showing the answer to the question some how got in the wrong spot. Sometimes the correct or wrong answer got ahead of the picture.
If I remember correctly the audio was recorded by John and me ahead of time.
People who probably didn't really know that Newark had a TV station, were ringing the phone off the hook to inform us of the jumbled mess. Too bad we didn't have a phone system like today, in which we could tell them to start pressing (dialing) numbers for improved service while disgusting music played telling them their call was important to us.

As I think of things, I will write them as we walk down memory lane. Things to be covered:
Licking County Spotlight; Land of Legend shows on the hill; and probably
several more.
