It always fascinates me to watch cars being built from raw iron ore and seeing the finished car. I've loved automobiles ever since I was 2 years old. It was great seeing the beautiful Thunderbird, Lincoln, Mustang, and Cougar of 1968-1969 being finished and built. I sure wish they would have filmed this in color! I am sure everyone watching noticed that none of the workers wore any type of breathing protection or ear protection. If some of the younger ones are still alive today, they probably are deaf or got cancer from the carcinogens in the paint and breathing the lethal fumes of molten metal. I doubt any of them enjoyed a long retirement, sadly. I will never forget my school field trip visit in 1972 to the Arlington, Texas GM assembly plant. I was 11 years old. My best friend and I begged to lag behind the group so we could watch every process from arriving engines at one end, to hearing the cars fire up to life and being driven to the transport lot. I have never forgotten that trip. Beautiful Cutlasses, Monte Carlos, Skylarks, and Grand Prix.

And here I am now, 67 years later, watching this to see how a Slide Rule I got in Goodwill today works (Dad showed me many years ago, but I only briefly messed with that one). this one's an old Faber Castil 57/87, and was the later one made in 1972. One of the last of the slide rules to be made before pocket scientific calculators began to replace them. Nautical computers (like slide rules, but round) are still super popular though.

I'm sure the Mom F'N LOVES that god damn printer in the kitchen!!!!! ll

Knights of the road

Pretty much houses of today still look like the houses of the 60's but now everything is sheet rock and particle board.

I worked for Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company at a float and automotive plant in Lathrop and in Ohio. Fascinating stuff was going on in the automotive industry during the mid 90s..but a lot of shutdowns too. I was glad to see this manufacturing face on. 😀

2024 and I live in a building built in 1926 and own a home built in 1905.

I am a toolpusher but I started roustabout. I work in different countries from Africa to middle east for 35yrs.

I once heard of a fella who knew a man that didn’t work at a car factory at all.

Very good video

I'm only getting recc'd this video because I watched a vastly better video first. "Columbus Knew the Earth Was Round (and so did everyone else)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJC3k6prppdkb9k

Back then manufacturing knew the hazards of 8 hours of exposure to sprayed solvents, loud percussive noises, metal particles from grinders, welders, etc. But it was a different era, and men were seen as expendable.

The Reality of the Future is Mass Homelessness, people living in Tiny Houses, Tents and under Freeways or on Sidewalks.

TO BAD THE MAN WHO HAD THE REP. FOR BEING A GREAT ENGINEER AND HUMANITARIAN, WASN'T VERY EFFECTIVE OR HELPFUL WHEN THE GREAT DEPRESSION HIT. AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION HAPPENED DURING HIS TERM IN OFFICE. FDR DID WHAT HOOVER WAS AFRAID TO DO. AND THAT WAS GIVE AMERICA BACK TO ITS PEOPLE. AND FDR WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS. THE MAN WHO SAVED THE USA AND THE WORLD.

When he said he would rather have a komatsu over a cat 955L I turned it off

Well I do own a 3D TV so that became a thing.....

The Wild West!

20:30 that professor would be impressed with the progress on robotics and for example the robotic vacuum cleaners

They have a nicer looking rig setup than even some modern rigs. Notice how these guys aren't throwing a chain

I owned a ‘60 Chevy for many years back in the day….283… three speed manual. Loved that car, but I have to say the ‘60 Buick is more beautiful. I wonder if my Honda with the four cyl K24 engine could do it…….

30h work week in the USA? 1 month holiday...🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸

I can`t understand why there has never been a movie made about this piece of history.

Neat old trucks. However, it's a good thing they don't make truck like this any more.

It is a testament to this fellow that of all the KZbin videos I’ve watched on slide rule operation, this is the one that made it all click. Thanks to you who ever you are and wherever you are now.

How in the world were these guys spray painting without masks?

I ran movies in high school AV club in the early 70s from our auditorium projection booth with an RCA Port-o-Arc 16mm projector. It was hand threaded and used a carbon arc lamp. It had a vacuum tube photocell like the one in this film and a tube amplifier. It put on a brilliant show. I loved this film, have watched it numerous times and am most excited to learn about the photoelectric effect that made it work! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this relic. Amazing seeing the science and understanding that was available even back then. And yet today there are deniers of these processes.

Funny how they think anyone could afford a house

28 years in the patch. Trew chain on a triple motor man supervised building lease in Castaic ca. Became pumper on that lease for about 16 years. I am now 70. Started in 1976 on rig.grew up in Piru CA. Raised daughters in Fillmoe. No in Grass Valley Ca 15:01 15:09

the majority of people in 2001 still lived in houses built in the 60's and beyond

JUST GO PROTEST AT COLLEGE...

The schoolchildren of 1966: "I hope to live to see the wonderus future of the 21st Century". The now senior citizens who watched this film in 1966: "I wished it was 1966 again".

To hell with Disney, I’m going to see doors stamped lol

LOL, 11:20 it didn't help they rusted away so fast

The biggest joke was “a 30 hour work week and month long vacations”.

All while the Tom's wife is getting her insides pushed in by the milkman, who has her positioned like a wheel barrel at a worksite

Tiling the fields is now used, to assist with Drainage #dirtpertfect

Thunderbird, the ugliest car ever built

These visionaries weren't so visionary. They were all dead wrong. Long lives suburbia and small towns and City Life can go f*** itself

Cool video! 😊

UNION drivers back then . A great well paying career . Not any more nowadays after Jimmy Carter's deregulation and eventually Union busting crap ruined trucking as a career . 😢

I started using a Post slide rule in 1962, and after you have dropped it the accuracy has decreased from three significant digits to something less than three. So it is necessary to periodically recalibrate it to get the most accurate results. Only a few of today's students know the difference between precision and accuracy. My colleague taught engineering college classes. On one exam an engineering student wrote down 16 digits of an incorrect answer from his pocket calculator, and my colleague wrote in red, "Precise, but not Accurate." Multiplying and dividing numbers on a slide rule is based on adding and subtracting logarithms of these numbers. When two numbers with normal error distributions are multiplied together, their product no longer has a normal error distribution, but a log-normal error distribution, which is why the effective uncertainty can increase. Students are taught (or should be taught) early on that accuracy is only as good as the measurements, so never use more digits to represent computational results than the measurements provide, except in special cases where processing multiple measurements may allow some increase in accuracy.

10:20 “In the 21st century, we’ll have 30 hour work weeks and month long vacation time.” Me in the 21st century, working 40 hours a week as a contractor with no vacation time or paid sick days:

😂 is their a miss 69.😂

The bigger they are the harder they fall.
