  • What year was this made? The tubes looks like the later ones (the ones that aren't metal). Haha I always love these old video segments. They are usually informational with a bit of entertainment at the end. :D

  • I updated the info block to include the 1942 date. You can verify that with Google.

  • Awesome! Thanks for uploading this!

  • You're welcome. I've had the tape for 10 years. It was patiently waiting for YouTube to exist.

  • Unreal. A lost time. Thank you for this.

  • The manual dexterity of those workers is amazing, especially when they're putting the grids together. I guess that's why some of this stuff still works today.
