 Additional Information by laserking (42)   15/02/2011 

Publisher is listed as Wiley Educational Software. This short instructional program is intended to teach students about the physics of wave motion and resonance. It focuses on the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on November 7, 1940, due to a combination of high winds and poor construction. It features archival footage of the bridge under construction, as well as its actual collapse into Puget Sound. It includes experiments with models simulating the influence of the wind at various speeds and gust frequencies. Also included are experiments demonstrating the importance of the bridge's physical properties, such as tension, length, and linear density.

To reduce confusion as all industrial players (except the PR-7820) play from the bottom side of the disc just as commercial players do, Pioneer produced later pressings with the same program on both sides. The labels still indicate "This side up for commercial player" and "This side up for industrial player".
