In 1954, Haskins Laboratories was featured in an episode of the CBS television documentary show Adventure hosted by Charles Collingwood, and co-sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History The episode consisted of two segments, the first about research at Haskins and the second about Bali. The video on this page is a short version of what has become known as the Adventure film, showing only the Haskins segment of the episode. It runs about 20 minutes.

The Adventure film features Frank Cooper, Al Liberman, and Pierre Delattre demonstrating the use of the Haskins Pattern Playback.

Please note that the quality of this video is not good because of multiple transfers over the years from film to videotape and then to digital form. Also, patterns and noise at the beginning of the film are retained for historical purposes. Be sure to drag the progress bar back to the beginning after it starts.
