This was the company's institutional television program which presented General Electric as a good citizen, leader in research, vital to national defense, and inspiring example of profitable enterprise. The company delivered messages or reports that were approximately three minutes in length and covered scientific, technological and business advances within General Electric. 

The documentation in this suberies consists of General Electric product literature and brochures, photographs, including photographs of Ronald Reagan, two video and audio typescripts for General Electric educational projects (1961) and newspaper clippings.
