Exterior view of crane operating at Ford River Rouge Plant in Dearborn Michigan. Scene changes to interior view. Many steps are shown in creation of automobile engine blocks, including casting of forms, workers pouring molten iron into forms for cast iron engine blocks. Car engine blocks being cooled and transported on elevated hanging racks, further steps in tooling and finishing work on assembly line. Many Ford workers and heavy factory machinery are shown involved in the process.
River dock scene near Ford River Rouge manufacturing plant. Men using blow torches stand inside partially disassembled old steel and iron ship hulls. They are cutting the ship hulls into large pieces, which are then moved by cranes to form giant stacks adjacent to a railroad train bed, awaiting transport to Ford factories for melting and recycling, to make automobiles.
Large pieces of old, cut, double layer ship hulls are seen in piles next to railroad tracks. A large crane loads steel and iron hull pieces onto flatbed rail cars. Railroad train flatbed cars rolling into Ford River Rouge plant carrying pieces of old steel and iron ship hulls. View of a giant piece of ship hull being fed into a crushing device that flattens the double wall hull into one piece. View of rollers past the crushing block to carry crushed pieces away. Crane with magnet is used to lift pieces of crushed ship hull and drop them into smaller bins on a flatbed rail car.
Robert Kennedy visits the Oregon Institute of Technology at Klamath Falls, Oregon to give a speech. He is seen shaking hands while walking with student Thor Nielsen just behind him at his left shoulder. He is then seen at the podium speaking. View of reel to reel tape recorder and cassette recorder running. Outside, RFK smiles as he is about to meet Native American presenters.
Film opens showing interior of the Ford Rouge River steel plant, with large crucible being lifted vertically on an overhead conveyor system from where it is tilted and emptied. Next, another container of molten steel is seen being emptied, raising a huge amount of fire and sparks, which soon disappear. Closeup of an overhead crane moving, connecting to stubs on the ladle, and carrying it toward the camera. Change of scene shows a ladle of steel being poured into what appears to be an ingot mold. An empty crucible moves by conveyor, is refilled again, and moves away to deliver molten steel.
In opening scene, a special train carries hot ingots from the Ford Rouge River steel plant. Then,scene shifts to inside the plant, where hot glowing ingots of steel are being raised from a storage area and carrried by overhead crane to a rolling mill. Closeups of the ingot passing through rolllers and descending along a gravity conveyer to another set of water-cooled rollers for further shaping.
