There are some old movies with boatanchor content available at

http://www.archive.org/movies/index.html

but you'll need cable or DSL to get some like the 1944 "Radio At War"
which is about 500Mb long!   They used to have that one in more
compressed Mpeg4/DivX format but it looks like they're redoing those
in a newer version - it was only a 60-80 Mb download on Christmas
day, about 5 minutes over a relatives cable modem. "Telegram for America"
is in compressed format (61.4Mb) has lots of teletype gear, etc. "Behind
Your Radio Dial - the Story of NBC", all kinds of stuff.

There are films about atomic energy, airports and airplanes (some radio
room footage there) - they look like school career guidence flicks, what
they used to show in schools on the 16mm projector. There's even
official Air Force training films about 16mm projector maintence and use.
