I remember one or two of these being shown on a cartridge-view system that a local dealer had. It seems RCA produced these for the Consumer Electronics Shows in 1974/75. I guess they played them at the RCA "booth" or whatever.
The cartridges were about 6 or 8 inches grey-white plastic, and squarish, with I think 16mm film.

The cartridges with RCA ads were available on eBay way back in the early 2000's, and I remember the seller being in Indianapolis, and was probably an RCA employee.

The only other ads I remember being on the cartridge system was some Honda Motorcycle ads - same cartridges, and the year was probably 1976 or 1977. The viewer was "portable" with a fold-up screen and mirror system. Dad did some work on the viewer for the Honda dealership, but I'm not sure what the repairs were.

Anybody know the name of the cartridge system? It was all-film, no video involved...

Cheers,
