now we know how they came up with the chemicals to be used in engine oil production to reduce friction? It was during the 1950's with machinist and engineers working out the best chemicals to be used in the friction removal for machining various metals during larger production, so basically most of the larger machine shops and companies with in the aircraft industry using specialised alloys? 👍👍🦘🦘✌✌

[@7071t6]

Also i sold Hastelloy mesh to a specialised tool maker using his kilim to put diamond dust onto tungsten carbide tools used in very specialised machine shop sand companies it was either titanium mesh 820c or Inconel 1,000 c or Hastelloy mesh 980 c, depending on the grade of Hastelloy or inconel the higher the temperature the better basically? So when the machine tools are used they lasted at least 5 times longer than off the shelf carbide tipped tooling. 👍👍🦘🦘✌✌👌👌

Even with the age of this information it’s still completely relevant and accurate to the day to day life of a machinist. You could take real lessons from this and actually go get an entry level job in many places. It’s so satisfying to see this old stuff even after just getting off work doing this all day.

As a retired carbide tool salesman, having done my apprenticeship in the 70s when having to grind my own cutting tools as Carbon or High Speed Steels, this was great to see.

[@renetr6771]

Had my apprenticeship in 1999, and my company insisted that we grind our cutting tools and drill bits ourselves. In Germany, various tests have to be passed before an examination committee, and we were prohibited from using indexable inserts.

[@EricHansen-fr3cz]

I worked in 70s German tool & die company, 6 man shop n.j very very clean shop .retired now p/t work still .

[@PaulusRutter]

These old short SHELL films are really good, only pure information and no cowardly political correctness. Have watched some of them and I'm always impressed, much better than the stuff shown in trade schools.

[@ronfox5519]

It's my belief that we were better at this kind of teaching back in those days. I find old technical books to be far more instructive than what we see today.

[@Goshjij]

This is super interesting to me. The language is exactly the same, as well as the machines except our machines are just controlled by computers. My dad has always told me machining is one of the best long term fields of work I could get into because a good machinist will always be needed.

[@antsman331]

Machinist are also all over the world. You'll always be able to find work.

[@Goshjij]

​@@antsman331 He says that too! Lol

[@stephenwilliams926]

And paid badly for what you have to know.

[@JV_CNC]

Beautiful animation of the chip forming proces. It seems as if they had high speed cameras those days....

[@markmilam3152]

The art of hand grinding turning tools is almost a lost art!

[@drmagnus1970]

Fantastic - educational, precise, concise and no gimmicky music. Thank you She’ll!

[@griffithguns1776]

In 2024 Im using the exact same tools and machinery shown in the video. Nuts

[@deviationfluxer]

Not a single person is wearing eye protection or safety shoes.....we've come a long way since 1952.

[@seancollins9745]

I'm going to be super honest, most eye protection is just a placebo

[@rockets4kids]

@@seancollins9745 To be super honest, most people back then didn't use safety equipment because they felt it made them less of a man. That was the major difficulty in getting people to use it at this time. Safety equipment is mandated these days because it works.

[@rockets4kids]

Dresses on the shop floor are what gets me.

[@JonDingle]

@@rockets4kids Rubbish! My grandad (He died in 1966) was a boiler maker and then for the war effort was forced to move to the south of England by the government to become an engineering shift manager at SKF. I still have his safety glasses. They are made from laminated glass, have stainless steel wire mesh folding side eye guard and spring coiled wire folding arms to loop over the ears. Not everyone wore PPE because it wasn't a requirement. One factor that forces people into wearing PPE (Some of it quite stupid at times like wearing a hard hat and or safety outside where there is no risk of any injury) on sites or in factories is LAW SUITS where people make claims against an employer or company for the slightest chance of making a few quid!

Have we?

[@sgtfaruk]

The lathe man wears a tie while working , it's incredible, I respect it 👍👍👍

[@arthurmario5996]

not safe, though.

[@precertvideo]

I still do, tie clip & apron keep it out the way.

[@jasonburque]

I wear a tie made from Emery cloth

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

@@arthurmario5996 what do ya think ?..... 🙄😂

[@janmuyllaert8565]

the total lack of health and safety at the workplace in those times was staggering and I'm sure many worker got badly injured, lost limbs and eyes without insurance being part of course then, gone are those jobs now.Thankfully things are much improved and most machines are automated & computer operated now.

[@bellanorbert23]

good job Shell! we need more of this..,very intersting!

[@JonDingle]

All very interesting stuff. To see the modern day version of this, just look up some videos on KZbin of how they make stuff in China, India and Pakistan. Some really intersting videos of how stuff is done/made in some other countries.

[@69Applekrate]

watching these guys with their unproected face in the equipment makes me so nervous. no safety glasses, etc. times have changed for the better in that respect

[@chrisbrady-t1u]

PRE- cisely,Dr. Wells.Your research at the university has been invaluable in the making of this motion picture.

[@theislander-sj1kq]

Our machine shops allow on clip on ties. The UK is different i guess.

[@MagnetOnlyMotors]

1:55, ouch.😢

[@justtim9767]

Excellent.

[@manhoot]

Blimey!

[@bueno43]

I used to forge my parting tool

[@richardcosse2493]

Wearing a tie inches from a lathe....Doh!!

[@jonathangriffin1120]

It always amazed me that some guys used to wear Bri-Nylon ties to work when I was an apprentice, they probably wanted to convey the impression they were 'Middle Management'. Good film though with a lot of useful information. I'm pretty sure that any young apprentice straight out of school, dropped into a shop full of women operators would learn about more things than engineering!........

[@theislander-sj1kq]

Our machine shops only allow clip on ties.

[@avijitDrilling92]

Now you know this film was made more that 60 years ago... what is this 1 day ago??

[@niceguy6296]

Dear, 1 day ago means this video has been uploaded on this channel 1 day ago.

[@rockets4kids]

Did you just arrive here from 60 years ago?

[@tednevels3414]

Safety wasn't a factor back then! Lathe operator not wearing safety glasses and long sleeves.

[@TriumphT100T]

Scary using a lathe without protective glasses …

[@billruss6704]

Where I worked this is all you needed to do to get the afternoon off.

[@Evilslayer73]

Give me a welder and a lathe im gonna build you something amazing :)

[@tworthington27]

Are you guys still going to sell gas?

[@davidg3944]

I'm still waiting for them to make the pumps dispense unleaded electricity.

[@alro2434]

Who was the intended audience, new RoyalDutchShell machine shop employees/trainees, UK trade schools, Dutch made with English translation but the tooling was all in English or public service to hide/obscure the colonialism down in the Dutch Empire?

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (YHVH, El Shaddai, Adonai, God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham). John 3:10-18
