With a soundtrack full of 1960s urgency, highlights of the quaint tech of the era, and choppy editing, this is a good watch, if you don't mind not knowing exactly what the narrator is saying...

Wow!  Memories of when I started in industry.  Slide rules, drafting tables, no CNC, not a safety barrier or drop of yellow or orange safety paint anywhere.  Everything run on limit switches, cams and relay logic.  Almost every step of production is touched by a human hand not a single robot in sight.  Amazing.

Huh. Anyone else spot the unfaired RC amongst the cubs at the beginning? Had to go back and check that I wasn't seeing things.
