Carousel/Carousal
“My first job, I was in house at a fur company, with this old pro copyrighter, a Greek named Teddy.
And Teddy told me the most important idea in advertising is “new”. Creates an itch.
You simply put your product in there as a kind of … calamine lotion.
He also talked about a deeper bond with the product.
Nostalgia.
It’s delicate … but potent.
Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound.
It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.
This device isn’t a spaceship.
It’s a time machine.
It goes backwards, forwards.
It takes us to a place where we ache to go again.
It’s not called the Wheel.x
It’s called the Carousel.
It lets us travel the way a child travels.
Around and around and back home again…x
to a place where we know we are loved.”
– From Mad Men, Season One, Episode 13, “The Wheel”
In this scene, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) gives his advertising pitch to Kodak for their new slide projector, which they have not named yet.

“The magical power of the projected image is unique to the medium.
A beam of light, thrown out from the slide or film projector, bears sequences of images
that reconstitute and take form when the light meets an opaque surface.
Projected images are at once solid and transparent…
The beam of light is a powerful sign of memory and the visual imagination.
It transmits ghost images, figures that live only through the power of the projective
apparatus and die as the picture vanishes. Projected in darkness, the cone of light
traces the genesis of the images from projector to screen.
It is spellbinding and full of promise”
– Lynda Nead, The Haunted Gallery: Painting, Photography and Film around 1900

We’re living in a world of connections —
and it matters which ones get made and unmade.”
