This gorgeous 16mm reel was produced by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers to promote the history and application of their standards for fasteners. Seems pretty boring, right? WRONG! This film is chuck full of cool footage showing the works of everything from bolt making machines to nuclear power plants to crane disasters... it's an epic reel. Enjoy!

    Hey, Fran, Can you enable whatever makes the "auto-caption" on these videos? I understand if it's expensive, or like google owns you forever if they make captions, or that it makes you somehow liable for something, but sometimes I can't hear everything enough to understand, and suspect the caption-bot would (based on other channels). No problem if not, just wanted to ask!

    Way cool Fran, just as I thought maybe you were not going to be able to give and share your gift or calling you've been blessed with. Thank you Sarah Connors of the rebel resistance against the internet copyright trolls.

    Bout nine minutes in I was sure we were about to hear Billy Joel’s Allentown. I guess I should say, we were about to hear you mute Billy Joel’s Allentown

    What is the betting that a 'media copyright owner' from the Galapagos Islands files a claim against your content? 😂
