I used to watch this program in the 1950s. It was very educational. We need more programs like this on television instead of junk and trash we see today.
@ 3:41 The USS Texas, at the San Jacinto Monument, Houston. Industry On Parade briefly showcasing what would eventually be the last WW1-era dreadnought left in the world.
Sounds like the kind of show that was paid for by the govt to get people to be more productive in a post war society, since a lot of the military manufacturing and growth over the war needed to be maintained so everyone wouldn't come back to a country filled with gun heads killing each other cause that's all they knew. Really a smart decision cause it's why we have so many modern comforts. Even if the narrator still seems to occasionally let slip that white men are the only ones who can do this stuff given how condescending he sounds when a woman is in business, but it was necessary to remind the rest of the country that the ideas that only half the population and a particular ethnicity was the only ones capable of doing anything worth living for. These videos were the progress we needed to stop all those horrible stereotypes halting progress.
4:01 there is no way you would have someone manually inserting materials into a piston ring machine with that giant blade inches away from her fingers nowadays!
I'm sure a lot of our ancestors lost enough fingers that thank god those barriers are finally required. Profits don't come from foolishness, no matter how much the big cheese in a suit who just worries about the numbers demands it. XD
Sinews of Steel (ep. 395) aired in May of 1958

I watched this show when I was a child. Hated that something better was not on to watch.

No kidding! I have seen so many things like that on this show and thought that's crazy! This was before safety was a concern lol.
