The show depicts complicated industrial processes that transform raw materials into finished products available for consumption by Americans. This particular installment titled “Force for Good” depicts different corporations producing and experimenting with using high pressure machines and force to optimize production and help with important technological developments, highlighting the work of Jones and Laughlin Steel Company, Avco-Everett Research Laboratory, and the United States Air Force (USAF) Hurricane Supersonic Research Site (HSRS) among others. Film begins, opening sequence and credits (0:10). “Force for Good” Using pressure machines to shape raw goods: Workers at quarry swing sledgehammers in unison as they break down slab of marble (0:40). Close-up diamond getting cut into smaller gemstones (0:53). Ingot of piping hot white steel shaped in forge press (1:05). Footage of Jones and Laughlin Steel Company plant in Pittsburgh, also known as J&L Steel or simply as J&L, operated from 1852 until 1968. Heated billet of rugged carbon steel prepared for press to transform it into different machine parts; production of steel tubes (1:46). Slow-motion animation offering detailed understanding of how machine works to shape and form steel through force (2:33). Commercial Metals Co. (CMC) scrapyard (likely Texas), powerful presses squeeze old cars into useful scrap metal in scrapyard (2:52). Pile driver at construction site (3:19). Crew constructing high-rise building use power hammer to bind rivets in place on steel structure (3:31). Other kinds of fasteners driven into hard surfaces (metal, concrete) by tool made by Power Tool corp. (3:43). High-voltage electricity-powered machines allowing for standardized factory nut cracking (4:05). Dynamite explosion at mine frees up rock sediment (4:28). Hurricane Test carried out at University of Miami Housing Research Laboratory - window survives “artificial hurricane” (4:51). Preparations for test of ramming two freight cars into each other, Union Pacific Railroad employees observe experiment to understand how jolt will impact cargo (5:08). Tire spins inside controlled cabin emulating tire during airplane landing (4:54). Metallurgists compare two types of iron using impact machine (6:06). Research equipment at Avco-Everett Research Laboratory in Everett, Massachusetts: Scientist adjusts shock tube for experiment seeking to understand what happens when missile re-enters earth’s atmosphere (device used to study the transient aerodynamic phenomena under a wide range of temperatures and pressures for a variety of gases) (6:35). Slow-motion and still pictures showing what happens inside shock tube during the experiment (8:00). Scientists prepare experiment involving dummy ejected from rocket propelled sled at United States Air Force (USAF) Hurricane Supersonic Research Site (HSRS) at Hurricane Mesa, Utah (8:33). Adjustment of reel tape recorder (8:46). Test trials of arresting gear on runway to allow high speed jets to land on short runways; Landing of perhaps F4F-3 Wildcat, North American F-86 Sabre, North American AJ Savage (9:14). All American Engineering Company development of winch to address problems involving absorption of energy and control of impact; Testing and development of winch involving hauling heavy loads up and down tower simulating stress and strain of actual use (10:21). Practical application of winch in “frogmen” or Navy SEAL pickup and water rescue using ring loop attached to speed boat (10:59). Practical application of winch in ground rescue, engineering assistant wears harness while sitting on ground and waits to be picked up by airplane (11:49). Closing credits (13:10). Film ends (13:30). Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
