DuMont Laboratories, Inc., was to develop and build this system, and developed new division of the company, DuMont Venezuela, to accomplish this. There is no information on whether the proposal was accepted. Materials consist of Du Mont's proposal to the government of Venezuela and two general information books on Venezuela. Materials are arranged by volume number.
