In the last post, there was a photograph of two Mills Panogram "Soundies" and mention that they were a sort of an early video jukebox. A little more research was necessary as I'd never heard of them.
Good old Wiki to the rescue.
Panoram was the trademark name of visual jukeboxes that played music accompanied by a synchronized, film image (like today's music videos). It was a jukebox playing a closed-loop 16 mm film reel projected out onto a glass screen.
They were popular in the United States in the 1940s.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
