Re: a fun video!
I don't know if I would place it in the "FUN" category but, very interesting. I need to help you get out of the house more often.... 
Just kidding.

Re: a fun video!
SO TRUE. I noticed the lack of PPE from the start. Must have spent some time in the company infirmary for sure. "You could put a eye out!"

They certainly needed a lot a machinists during the war years.
It shows how safety conscious we are that it's so noticeable when it missing.

Re: a fun video!
I enjoyed viewing again, last time I saw it was as a student at the U.S. Army Ordnance School Machinist Course in 1962. There was something about how those 1940s films were presented, they kept your attention.
Thanks for the memories.
