1 00:00:00,12 --> 00:00:06,87 And curl their outer edges into the curl of the ends is injected a 2 00:00:06,87 --> 00:00:12,59 rubber gasket material. Graphically illustrated. It looks like this. 3 00:00:15,01 --> 00:00:15,42 Later on 4 00:00:15,42 --> 00:00:20,33 when the ends are seemed on the Can body this material will provide an air tight 5 00:00:20,33 --> 00:00:21,99 bond between the body 6 00:00:21,99 --> 00:00:28,63 and the M.P.'s now to make the candidate this body maker 7 00:00:28,63 --> 00:00:34,55 actually operates too fast for us to see how they can bodies for so after the body 8 00:00:34,55 --> 00:00:39,73 blanks which you saw being cut earlier are fed into the body maker. We will follow. 9 00:00:39,94 --> 00:00:43,57 It's intricate steps in slow motion and with graphic illustration. 10 00:00:47,96 --> 00:00:54,08 First the body blanks move to a not ging stage here small notches are cut from the 11 00:00:54,08 --> 00:00:56,76 corners to eliminate a double thickness of metal 12 00:00:56,76 --> 00:01:03,38 when the ends are seemed on the body 13 00:01:03,38 --> 00:01:04,84 blank is then formed 14 00:01:04,84 --> 00:01:09,06 and hooked into the familiar shape of the can around the body maker's 15 00:01:18,48 --> 00:01:18,62 he has 16 00:01:28,70 --> 00:01:30,77 next they are bumped to form 17 00:01:30,77 --> 00:01:38,23 and tighten the side seam the 18 00:01:38,24 --> 00:01:43,32 one who has 19 00:01:45,49 --> 00:01:50,31 the form the body then passes over flexing wheels to a hot solder bath where a 20 00:01:50,31 --> 00:01:56,10 solder is applied to the outside of the side seam the side seam is then wiped off 21 00:01:56,10 --> 00:01:57,64 and cooled by a blast of air. 22 00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:03,48 Then the bodies speed along to where they are flange studies Jan. 23 00:02:03,75 --> 00:02:04,56 So the tops 24 00:02:04,56 --> 00:02:14,28 and bottoms will fit on here 25 00:02:14,29 --> 00:02:19,83 you will see why the body blanks were not not just the lemonade a double thickness 26 00:02:19,83 --> 00:02:26,61 of metal by the side seam overlaps the flange part only two layers 27 00:02:26,61 --> 00:02:28,01 come together at this point. 28 00:02:28,22 --> 00:02:30,33 Thus permitting a perfect seal 29 00:02:30,33 --> 00:02:37,22 when the end pieces are seemed on air in the can making plant only one of the 30 00:02:37,22 --> 00:02:41,26 end pieces is double seemed in place and the other end left open. 31 00:02:41,41 --> 00:02:46,91 So they can maybe easily failed at the canneries this operation is extremely 32 00:02:46,91 --> 00:02:52,30 important. It calls for the utmost precision. 33 00:03:01,32 --> 00:03:03,52 One hand is placed on the Can body. 34 00:03:12,64 --> 00:03:16,40 It curls over the flange on the body and precisely the right amount. 35 00:03:17,81 --> 00:03:22,78 Remember that rubber gasket material in the curl of the end pieces. 36 00:03:22,80 --> 00:03:29,04 While this material provides a bomb between the layers of metal to ensure a 37 00:03:29,04 --> 00:03:33,71 permanent air tight seal as they are pressed together to give us the finished 38 00:03:33,71 --> 00:03:40,56 double seat. Later when the cans have been filled in a can 39 00:03:40,56 --> 00:03:45,87 or a the other end will be double seemed on in the same way with exactly the same 40 00:03:45,87 --> 00:03:51,35 precision but returning to the can making line. 41 00:03:52,05 --> 00:03:58,31 Our cans with only one hand seemed on leave the double seam are ready for final 42 00:03:58,31 --> 00:04:02,08 testing. Fresh air is a wonderful thing 43 00:04:02,97 --> 00:04:09,12 but not in a can by means of air pressure this machine detects a can 44 00:04:09,12 --> 00:04:10,16 that might leak air 45 00:04:12,12 --> 00:04:18,87 and tosses it out as a suspect to be checked separately against a 46 00:04:18,87 --> 00:04:21,69 can like the red one. We know to be a leaker. 47 00:04:22,90 --> 00:04:23,10 And 48 00:04:23,10 --> 00:04:29,22 that is the seemingly simple can require such precision in its making 49 00:04:29,93 --> 00:04:34,47 that any variation in excess of a few thousands of an inch are sufficient to cause 50 00:04:34,47 --> 00:04:36,99 automatic rejection. 51 00:04:37,01 --> 00:04:41,82 There's ability to achieve high speed production with such precision as place the 52 00:04:41,82 --> 00:04:46,72 can manufacturing industry in the front rank of the mass production leaders of the 53 00:04:46,72 --> 00:04:47,08 world 54 00:04:48,92 --> 00:04:55,40 but how do all these billions of cans get to the right place at the right time food 55 00:04:55,41 --> 00:04:56,51 cans for instance. 56 00:04:57,62 --> 00:05:01,07 Well that takes a lot of planning a lot of experience 57 00:05:01,07 --> 00:05:06,29 and good teamwork between the can manufacture the canning and the farm. 58 00:05:08,46 --> 00:05:10,94 Actually there's hardly a minute of the day or night 59 00:05:10,94 --> 00:05:13,94 that you won't see trucks loaded with containers 60 00:05:15,63 --> 00:05:20,71 or freight cars similarly loaded on their way to the canneries scattered across the 61 00:05:20,71 --> 00:05:27,09 land such journeys are initiated at the canneries But there's more to it than just 62 00:05:27,09 --> 00:05:32,92 loading a truck or freight car because with all manned controls. 63 00:05:33,06 --> 00:05:39,99 There's still one thing about nature he can't change the uncertainty of the weather. 64 00:05:41,09 --> 00:05:46,01 So the weather holds good crops should be ready about the thirtieth give 65 00:05:46,02 --> 00:05:47,13 or take a day on either side. 66 00:05:48,64 --> 00:05:53,24 So you want your candor on the and you make it the twenty first twenty first 67 00:05:53,24 --> 00:05:57,88 that is how many way better have two carloads a day Telapak is complete. 68 00:05:57,95 --> 00:05:59,83 You'll get them all I know I. 69 00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:03,53 And depend on you if there's any change in the weather you'll be hearing from us. 70 00:06:04,34 --> 00:06:07,67 We've got to be ready when the crop is and 71 00:06:07,68 --> 00:06:11,03 that readiness depends upon the weather not weather 72 00:06:11,03 --> 00:06:17,27 and its effect on a crop like peas for example is a mighty unpredictable thing you 73 00:06:17,28 --> 00:06:18,95 can't depend on guesswork. 74 00:06:20,85 --> 00:06:28,00 That's why the American Can Company develop this machine the tender ometer. 75 00:06:28,01 --> 00:06:34,49 It shows one of the crop has reached the proper stage of maturity for best quality. 76 00:06:37,55 --> 00:06:42,09 Such information together with the Council of agronomists sent out by the Can 77 00:06:42,09 --> 00:06:43,97 makers help scanners 78 00:06:43,97 --> 00:06:49,50 and farmers select the right time for harvesting well anything I'd say you can 79 00:06:49,50 --> 00:06:53,36 start taking him in next Monday and a special time of the day or the I leave 80 00:06:53,36 --> 00:06:55,77 that up to me. Monday is OK with me 81 00:06:57,91 --> 00:07:02,50 but sometimes unexpected things happen. Well it's plenty hot out here. 82 00:07:03,72 --> 00:07:04,76 The temperature shot right up. 83 00:07:05,93 --> 00:07:08,00 We took another turn around a reading this morning 84 00:07:08,00 --> 00:07:12,63 and it shows are these are going to be ready much sooner than we think we've got 85 00:07:12,63 --> 00:07:17,55 them can right away. OK And of course we'll get a chance to hear. 86 00:07:17,57 --> 00:07:19,87 What the worry will get in the time though. 87 00:07:21,71 --> 00:07:28,44 And so it goes for the entire Can making industry operate on this principle enough 88 00:07:28,45 --> 00:07:35,26 cans at the right place at the right time to meet the canners need for us 89 00:07:35,26 --> 00:07:40,34 every year. Billions of cans go out into the world packed with the yield of land 90 00:07:40,34 --> 00:07:44,01 and sea to say nothing of myriads of other products for Man's you 91 00:07:45,00 --> 00:07:50,59 and Eric can must speak for itself where every children 92 00:07:50,59 --> 00:07:56,37 when every twelve whatever it contains the contents must be in perfect condition 93 00:07:58,04 --> 00:07:58,95 word for that is. 94 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:06,92 Dependability dependability built by the turn allows vigilance of 95 00:08:06,92 --> 00:08:12,90 modern industry and science into every single cat or whatever the contents. 96 00:08:13,00 --> 00:08:18,11 But ever their ultimate purpose goal is satisfaction. 97 00:08:22,17 --> 00:08:24,66 There is nothing more important than serving the health 98 00:08:24,66 --> 00:08:29,94 and well being of multitudes of people providing protective containers for the food 99 00:08:29,94 --> 00:08:36,32 of a nation is such a service about which Here's something to remember NO NO shown 100 00:08:36,32 --> 00:08:39,49 don't do that you're throwing away the best cause. 101 00:08:40,76 --> 00:08:44,11 It certainly was a very low do nothing. 102 00:08:45,03 --> 00:08:49,14 But the liquid they were cooked in is full of vitamins and minerals. 103 00:08:51,05 --> 00:08:55,11 But throwing this away would be like well like doing a chicken 104 00:08:55,11 --> 00:09:00,96 and throwing away the broth right for not only do canned foods contain as much 105 00:09:00,96 --> 00:09:06,20 nutrition as fresh cooked foods but nature's own nutrients are seal them 106 00:09:06,20 --> 00:09:11,17 when these foods are at their very best and none of the precious values can escape. 107 00:09:14,80 --> 00:09:18,24 Now let's eat the likely and we'll add the P.S. 108 00:09:18,24 --> 00:09:22,34 Just a few minutes before we are ready to say the least little keep them hot 109 00:09:23,28 --> 00:09:27,78 and you know they are already cooked perfectly. You can depend on that. 110 00:09:29,10 --> 00:09:29,57 Dependability 111 00:09:30,38 --> 00:09:35,52 and nutrition these essential characteristics of canned food are assured by 112 00:09:35,52 --> 00:09:41,35 constant laboratory studies of canning techniques the first laboratory in the 113 00:09:41,35 --> 00:09:46,62 industry devoted to such studies was established by the American Can Company in one 114 00:09:46,62 --> 00:09:47,70 thousand nine hundred six. 115 00:09:48,82 --> 00:09:50,73 Since then scientific study 116 00:09:50,73 --> 00:09:56,32 and research have grown with the industry today it reaches into every phase of 117 00:09:56,32 --> 00:09:59,89 canning and can making ten play. 118 00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:06,58 For instance ten itself comes from far off lands us every 119 00:10:06,58 --> 00:10:08,85 world crisis threatens its supply 120 00:10:10,09 --> 00:10:14,50 that can making industry is therefore working on coatings and bonding materials 121 00:10:14,50 --> 00:10:18,64 that will replace stand in can making will be better than tan 122 00:10:18,64 --> 00:10:25,54 and best of all always available here on our own continent the 123 00:10:25,55 --> 00:10:29,49 industry constantly looks to the combined scales of science 124 00:10:29,49 --> 00:10:34,30 and manufacturing to solve many problems which directly affect our daily lives. 125 00:10:36,41 --> 00:10:42,12 For instance behind this simple familiar twist of the wrist lies a story of 126 00:10:42,12 --> 00:10:45,75 teamwork typical of the achievements in the can making industry 127 00:10:46,63 --> 00:10:52,02 that bring the homemaker convenience and satisfaction. Here's how it came about. 128 00:10:54,42 --> 00:10:58,97 Ed this is Mr Ward the coffee roaster I told you about stored meat out of our 129 00:10:58,97 --> 00:11:02,56 research staff pleased to meet you. How do tell us what you're up against Mr Ward. 130 00:11:02,68 --> 00:11:05,55 Well it's short and sweet. We pack coffee. 131 00:11:06,48 --> 00:11:11,21 Here is a container using it's good but it's not airtight. 132 00:11:11,22 --> 00:11:14,67 You know coffee when it's freshly ground and exposed to air. 133 00:11:15,14 --> 00:11:19,20 Naturally lose its freshness and there goes our flavor. 134 00:11:20,51 --> 00:11:24,82 Has been on the shelf for a while. You can guess what we've got. 135 00:11:24,83 --> 00:11:29,78 Stale coffee probably if it stays there long enough right then folks don't like it. 136 00:11:30,68 --> 00:11:35,13 Well there's only one real answer to that since is the air the ruins your coffee. 137 00:11:35,16 --> 00:11:37,83 You've got to take the air out of the can. 138 00:11:38,41 --> 00:11:41,26 But that can cause the can is what you need that sounds good 139 00:11:41,26 --> 00:11:44,92 but I've never seen a back room coffee can because easy to pack 140 00:11:44,92 --> 00:11:47,46 and easy for the housewife to open. 141 00:11:47,47 --> 00:11:53,74 Well those are our problems and they're toughens. Let's work on them. 142 00:11:58,69 --> 00:12:03,68 The chair of the. You've got to develop a Can strong enough to hold a vacuum. 143 00:12:04,18 --> 00:12:09,29 And yet still be easy to warp. 144 00:12:10,76 --> 00:12:15,36 Let me think it over a while. I'll try to come up with something. But I warn you. 145 00:12:16,40 --> 00:12:20,35 It may be designing machinery to produce this. You let me worry about that. 146 00:12:21,40 --> 00:12:40,47 Going to get an idea. 147 00:12:41,90 --> 00:12:47,67 Oh hell this is John. Got a pencil and paper. 148 00:12:49,86 --> 00:12:52,24 Wake up. This is what you've been waiting for. 149 00:12:53,26 --> 00:13:05,17 Grab a pencil. 150 00:13:07,58 --> 00:13:13,17 All right. OK. Draw yourself a sanitary tan. 151 00:13:13,61 --> 00:13:15,01 Only a little shorter 152 00:13:15,01 --> 00:13:28,40 and about five inches in diameter. 153 00:13:29,76 --> 00:13:34,57 Got it. Yeah go on. Now. Draw bead on it. 154 00:13:34,59 --> 00:13:41,25 About one inch from the top. 155 00:13:43,50 --> 00:13:44,75 Right now. 156 00:13:46,28 --> 00:13:56,88 Cut away part of the canvas shell of the inside. 157 00:13:58,29 --> 00:13:59,95 Now. Inside. 158 00:14:00,00 --> 00:14:05,90 They can drop a collar from the bottom of the be up to the underside of the cover 159 00:14:07,26 --> 00:14:13,28 and add a curl of the top of the collar got it 160 00:14:14,35 --> 00:14:18,55 all right. That puts the bottom of the collar into the B. 161 00:14:18,55 --> 00:14:19,75 To hold it in place 162 00:14:21,30 --> 00:14:28,80 and just above the draw a double score on the outside of the chain. 163 00:14:30,77 --> 00:14:33,12 Now at the end of the school 164 00:14:33,12 --> 00:14:42,63 or over the side of the padded tongue about a half an inch long. 165 00:14:42,65 --> 00:14:48,61 Right now and then like that. Sure we can make it but what is it. 166 00:14:49,54 --> 00:14:55,59 What is it. Well put it to your neck to wind off a scored strip 167 00:14:56,52 --> 00:15:01,65 and that our new easy opening back and coffee can. 168 00:15:01,67 --> 00:15:04,57 Then I think you've got something but. 169 00:15:04,58 --> 00:15:09,06 About makin packing while John had the answer for that too. 170 00:15:11,07 --> 00:15:12,95 After the cans are filled with coffee 171 00:15:12,95 --> 00:15:19,55 and loosely covered they pass into a chamber where the vacuum closing machine draws 172 00:15:19,55 --> 00:15:26,10 out the air. Almost at the same time that covers are tightly doubled seemed on. 173 00:15:26,52 --> 00:15:29,61 So that no lawyer can possibly get back again. 174 00:15:29,63 --> 00:15:35,96 So from then on the vacuum coffee can not only solve the roasters problem of 175 00:15:35,96 --> 00:15:39,36 protecting his product freshness even though months 176 00:15:39,36 --> 00:15:41,96 or years of my past before the cans were opened 177 00:15:42,70 --> 00:15:48,63 but it also meant the consumers demand for easy opening more than 178 00:15:48,63 --> 00:15:50,85 that had led to other developments 179 00:15:50,85 --> 00:15:56,38 that make the housewives job easier for it was an ideal container for override a 180 00:15:56,38 --> 00:16:01,42 zero product especially shortening so.
