and flawless material bears ingrained in its 00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:18.001 very structure, the colors and designs that will enhance its beauty in the 00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.000 interior trim of the finest motor cars. 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:29.000 The tire you ride on, born in a Mississippi cotton patch, in a 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.001 cane field in Louisiana. 00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:36.001 Maybe it started when some of its strange synthetic makings were pumped up from 00:00:36.001 --> 00:00:40.001 the ground in California or boiled up from the earth in Texas. 00:00:41.001 --> 00:00:48.000 And in the factories of Detroit and Akron and Dayton, men weave and fashion the 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.001 basic materials, cotton and rayon, sulfur and carbon, rubber from 00:00:54.001 --> 00:00:57.000 trees and rubber from oil wells. 00:01:17.001 --> 00:01:24.000 A gripping, springing, live thing, resiliently spry 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.000 and untiringly useful. 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.001 Sand and flame make glass, but it takes skilled men to grind 00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:39.001 and polish glass to optical clarity for safety vision. 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:08.000 And seeing too all of it, then again seeing that the finished product is perfect 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.000 for seeing, means yet another long chain of interdependent jobs from 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.001 sandpit through factory. 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:24.000 The processing of fine oars into finer steels for the finest of product 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.001 brings into play a great range of facilities. 00:02:52.001 --> 00:02:58.001 The linkage of jobs to be done along the line is always and infinitely expanding. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.000 From flat stock and sheet metal, bar and rod and ingot come the basic forms to be 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.001 forged and pressed, to be cut, to be ground and then polished into many thousands 00:03:14.001 --> 00:03:21.001 of interrelated but separate and individual parts in factories located along all 00:03:21.001 --> 00:03:24.000 the railways and highways of America. 00:03:25.001 --> 00:03:32.001 For the bumpers of your family car, steel from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and steel 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:38.000 from Pittsburgh, California, joined with the copper from Utah and chromium from 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.000 Texas for beauty combined with massive protection. 00:03:43.001 --> 00:03:49.000 The handy work of men in the mill and men in the smelter makes work for the hands 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.001 of men in the casting and forging plants. 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000 Melted and cast into the cylinder block of the valve and head engine are 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.001 the gray iron pegs. 00:03:59.001 --> 00:04:04.001 Here in gray iron are the tough settings for the bone structure of the finest 00:04:04.001 --> 00:04:09.001 transportation for all of us on all our roads and boulevards. 00:04:11.001 --> 00:04:18.000 What we harvest, what we dig and what we produce roll into the work days and 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000 paydays and play days of all of us. 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.000 Here, gleaming and precise is a differential pinion gear. 00:04:32.001 --> 00:04:35.001 It took a miner to get it from the ground and a railroad 00:04:35.001 --> 00:04:37.000 man to carry it to the docks. 00:04:38.001 --> 00:04:42.001 The crew of merchant seamen cargo the red dust to the blast furnaces. 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.000 It took the chemist and the metallurgist to alloy and 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.000 temper it before it could be shaped. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.001 Engineers designed it using pencils made in Pennsylvania and 00:04:55.001 --> 00:04:57.000 slide rules from New York. 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.001 To design and build the phenomenal machine tools to make the machines, 00:05:04.001 --> 00:05:06.000 it took men in other plants. 00:05:07.001 --> 00:05:11.000 To build these intricate and wonderful machines themselves took other 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000 skillful men in other factories. 00:05:13.001 --> 00:05:19.000 To guide and to use the machines takes more men with hands that are 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.000 skilled and finely productive. 00:05:22.001 --> 00:05:27.001 Behind each such job is the mighty panorama of men at other jobs. 00:05:28.001 --> 00:05:33.001 All of us making a living and making a fine product for others and 00:05:33.001 --> 00:05:35.000 ourselves and our families. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.001 For all of us who run machines and for all of us who sell other things to other 00:05:41.001 --> 00:05:43.000 men who run machines. 00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:52.001 Gauges to increase the powers of vision a thousand times, to make the sense 00:05:52.001 --> 00:05:59.000 of touch so delicate that it can weigh a puff of smoke, to magnify the 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.001 inch a million fold. 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.000 Gauges that are marbles of precision extend the senses of men in the conference 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.001 comparisons, inspections and tests that finalize the perfection 00:06:13.001 --> 00:06:15.001 of each working point. 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.000 It takes supreme precision to give us the smooth and effortless 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.000 driving that all of us want. 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.000 But men and women and only men and women have the judgment to tell right from 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000 wrong, to separate the best from anything less than the best. 00:06:35.001 --> 00:06:41.000 Making sure we have done right by all the finest materials America can supply 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.000 calls for a whole new category of excellence in service. 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.001 Vigilance and devotion applied to the ideal of seeing that only the 00:06:51.001 --> 00:06:53.001 best passes inspection. 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.001 In the factories locally built giving local employment in 00:07:00.001 --> 00:07:02.001 every great area of the nation. 00:07:03.001 --> 00:07:09.001 Each factory with its system of communications and inter communications is in 00:07:09.001 --> 00:07:12.001 itself a part and portion of other factories. 00:07:13.001 --> 00:07:20.000 Which begin where it ends or end where it starts to fabricate or fashion or 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:26.001 finish the fine products of the thousands of suppliers and the thousands of 00:07:26.001 --> 00:07:32.000 suppliers who supply those suppliers with all the parts of all the components. 00:07:32.001 --> 00:07:35.001 That help to make up the complete automobile. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:53.000 Today's product of the superbly equipped plants is the life story of 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.001 ten thousand engineers. 00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.001 With hundreds of supporting departments and thousands of supporting suppliers 00:08:00.001 --> 00:08:07.001 completed by the master hands of a million factory men who inscribe all 00:08:07.001 --> 00:08:09.000 their ideas in metal. 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.000 The careful and meticulous attention to every detail of quality and perfection 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.000 has resulted in constantly improved performance, efficiency and stamina 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.001 through the years. 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:32.000 That is the story told in the rhythm of the wondrously precise machines as 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.001 they dance to the mastery of the workers hands. 00:09:43.001 --> 00:09:50.001 Each of more than seventeen thousand parts must fit smoothly, accurately, 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.000 rightly with some other part. 00:09:53.001 --> 00:09:59.000 And the men on the assembly lines know that each part will be there when it is 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:04.001 needed because someone plans it that way and manages it that way. 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:11.000 The men on the assembly lines know that each material will be fitting and each 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:17.001 part will fit because someone builds it that way and someone checks it to 00:10:17.001 --> 00:10:19.000 see that it is that way. 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:26.001 And so it is that in the finished motor car, seventeen thousand separate and 00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:33.001 individual parts are so well designed and so well combined all 00:10:33.001 --> 00:10:39.000 to give us just the qualities we demand in our finest of transportation. 00:10:39.001 --> 00:10:46.000 The beauty and the comfort and the fine long life performance 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.001 with fine economy. 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:56.000 From all the designs and all the plans, all the materials 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:02.000 from all the processes and all the parts made by all the skills of all the men 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:08.001 and all the magic of all the machines, move through all the pageant of production 00:11:08.001 --> 00:11:14.001 in a great orchestration of interdependence one upon another and another 00:11:14.001 --> 00:11:21.000 into a fine climactic assembly of the finest products of all of us, 00:11:21.001 --> 00:11:27.000 for all of us, for all the farms and all the cities and towns 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.001 of all our land. 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:36.000 And the men who inspect the final product know that each part must be a 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.001 perfection certified quality first to last. 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:50.000 The harvest of America's finest automobiles keeps rolling off the assembly lines 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.001 year after year, every year, finer and finer. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:03.001 The face of America has been changed. A factory is built out in the open country 00:12:03.001 --> 00:12:18.001 and quickly a great city arises around it. 00:12:19.001 --> 00:12:25.001 Over broad highways made by and made for the automobile, what Americans have 00:12:25.001 --> 00:12:28.000 produced comes back to serve Americans. 00:12:29.001 --> 00:12:33.001 So it is that we can live in the country, work in the city. 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.000 Life in America has changed. So it is that we can make our living on a farm 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.001 and have a home in town. 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.001 So it is that we can live where we want to. 00:12:48.001 --> 00:12:51.001 The shopping centers now come out to meet us. 00:12:53.001 --> 00:12:59.001 The ever expanding involvement of people takes on a new dimension, the great new 00:12:59.001 --> 00:13:01.001 dimension of interrelated use. 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.001 The new individual transportation means new freedom of movement to all of us, 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.001 the dispelling of distance. 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:17.001 And for country dwellers as for city dwellers, a new and far 00:13:17.001 --> 00:13:19.000 and wide range of life. 00:13:20.001 --> 00:13:25.001 New businesses, large and small, have developed from putting America on wheels. 00:13:26.001 --> 00:13:33.001 It has created more jobs for more people, all interdependent on each other, and 00:13:33.001 --> 00:13:39.000 all continue to profit from it in ever new ways in each new generation of youth. 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.000 Putting America's children on wheels has changed our schools. 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:52.001 It has made possible better education, has built for better training for 00:13:52.001 --> 00:13:58.001 tomorrow, and all will profit from it in health and wealth and recreation. 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.001 Putting America's workers on wheels now means that there is more work within 00:14:05.001 --> 00:14:12.000 ready reach, more work for men to do, and more ways to get to the work 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.000 and make more money. 00:14:15.001 --> 00:14:22.000 On the money somebody else makes, all of us are dependent for the harvest of 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.001 money we make. 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:30.000 In all America, the money we make on any job changes hands many times, 00:14:30.001 --> 00:14:37.001 and every time it changes hands, it benefits all of us, the miner and the 00:14:37.001 --> 00:14:41.001 farmer and the rancher, all producing the finest materials. 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:49.001 The worker and the machine, all using the finest, the newest processes to do 00:14:49.001 --> 00:14:56.000 finely by those finest materials, building the finest and the largest low cost 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:03.000 cars and trucks, for everyone to haul anything, anywhere, and 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.000 haul anyone, including ourselves. 00:15:07.001 --> 00:15:14.000 And so it is that all of us in interdependence live independently on wheels. 00:15:15.001 --> 00:15:21.001 And all this far reaching interdependence is the great secret of why it is 00:15:21.001 --> 00:15:27.001 possible to put America's automobile within the reach of so many people. 00:15:27.001 --> 00:15:32.001 And all America, all its rock bound beauty, 00:15:34.001 --> 00:15:40.001 all its pleasant vistas, all its historic 00:15:40.001 --> 00:15:46.000 shrines, and all its ways of living, 00:15:47.001 --> 00:15:54.000 all its sports and recreations, all its scenic grandeur, 00:15:54.001 --> 00:16:01.001 along all its far flung highways, within the 00:16:01.001 --> 00:16:03.001 reach of all. 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.001 [...]
