Safety measures while handling tools, United States. Interior of Ford glass factory. Worker puts on protective clothing. Other workers cut glass in the background. Trams on street. People walk on the street. Other vehicle pass. Buildings along the sides of street. Exterior of the building of the Ford Motor company. People come downstairs from the building.
Safety measures while handling tools, United States. Electrician works on a fuse box with metal pliers. He gets a severe shock. Another worker shows him the use of fiber pliers.
Exterior of the Ford Motor company building, United States. Vehicles carry automobiles to be recycled. Other cars parked in front of the building in the background. Factory worker signs for the automobiles. Factory tow truck pulls cars off truck with a cable and tows them into factory.. Mechanics dismantle cars in the factory. They cut steel parts of the cars with acetylene torches. The old cars are completely dismantled in a production line. Finally they are crushed by a large press and fed into a furnace where the steel is melted down and recycled.
Men aboard a ship named the "Octopus" at a harbor or port area in the United States. High hill in the background with lighthouse on top. Dock seen behind the ship. Possibly hauling forested timber (related to prior clip in same film showing timber harvesting and hauling by rail locomotive).
Distillation of crude gasoline to remove impurities in United States. Animation shows the process of distillation of the crude petroleum. The still is charged with crude gasoline and steam is passed through perforated pipes. The vapors after this process are composed of steam and pure gasoline. They pass from condenser in the form of gasoline and water. The water settles to the bottom and the gasoline overflows. Stillman works in the factory. The gauge indicates the flow in barrels. Stillman controls the operation by watching the rate and gravity of steam. Gasoline is fractionated on re-running stills using fire and steam.
Distillation of crude gasoline to remove impurities in United States. Cracking process to convert additional portion of crude oil into gasoline. Crude oil is distilled under high pressure. By this process, it cracks and yields 40% gasoline. Battery of pressure stills. Smoke arises from the stills during processing. Animation shows the process of further distillation of crude oil to obtain gasoline. The still is charged with crude oil. It is fired with mechanical stokers. A high pressure is created in still from which cracking takes place. Then the gasoline passes off as vapor with some heavy oil. Fractionation takes place. The heavy ends are returned for further cracking. Gas vapors are passed in condenser coil. Then it is passed in receiving drum. Excess gas is taken off to maintain an even pressure.
