I just love this type of history. It's amazing how many steps it took to make this one part of a shell. If you have the time this is a great watch. Machinist will get a real kick out of it. Hard to believe all of this work for one round and they fired off thousands at a time. Just a great historical video.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting. I had no idea how many steps and how labor intensive this was.

Cool vid , thanks for posting. I love the old D.O.D. WWII films.

Unbelievable amount work,! What kind damage would do if hit plane

Hopefully enough damage to take down the plane. That was the goal. Win by attrition.

Impressive to see 'Merican industry at work. The war effort by the home guard was just awesome. Period.

We need to see more of this. Now. MAGA. 'Merica can win against the CV. We just need to put our nose to the grindstone and win.

It make me wonder how the auto makers can so rapidly switch over from auto production to making ventilators?

I don't know if anyone noticed but there are no women in this video and back then they made up most of the work force. I'm wondering if that was done on purpose so we didn't look weak?

Very possibly. I did notice one guy smoking a cigarette while working however , that would be a no-no today.
Plus the close proximity to many moving parts and other hazards , OSHA would have a fit with that work area.

Cool video

Very good

Here is one of my favorites , I've watched it several times. Very cool stuff.
