Steel production for war materiel in the United States during World War II. Worker in factory with open tilting windows. Coil of steel rod suspended by crane. Worker feeds end of steel rod into reducing die, through which it is pulled by machine power. Worker uses gauge to check diameter of emerging steel. Steel being pulled and wound as wire in spools. Barbed wire being made by a machine that twists pointed lengths of steel wire on another wire passing through the machine.
By means of special machines in a steel mill, a hot billet of solid steel is pierced and transformed into a seamless tube. Rolling reduces the thickness of the wall of the tube and increases its Length. Operator is seen as the tube is run through a reeling mill to make the wall thickness uniform.and round up the tube. View of tubing being cold drawn by machine to improve its surface,consistency and strength. Other steel products like sheets, rails strips etc are manufactured with the help of specialized equipment. People inspect the machines. Tin sheets are ready to be used.
Oregon State University (OSU) Department of Oceanography's 80-foot research vessel, R/V Acona, seen in waters off Newport, Oregon, United States. Using a boom on the foredeck, the crew lowers a container, takes a water sample and retrieves it. (Note: Reportedly, one of the two persons seen near the end of the footage may be Hugh Dobson, a technician from BC Canada, who worked for OSU Professor Kilho Park.) One of the two persons near the end of the footage looks like Hugh Dobson who was a technician from BC Canada who came to OSU to work for Professor Kilho Park (this insert provided by Iver Duedall, OSU graduate student 1963-66; spent time on Acona on cruises--most of the time I was seasick)
