Researching gears for this class, I stumbled across the first video below which is a four minute excerpt of the full length one below.
The contrast between Steiner’s film and the video on how a Tesla automobile is made is as different as the times in which each was made.
Masterfully photographed it is a glimpse into our technological past and a vision into a world which remains largely unseen, just beneath the skin of the machines around us.
Viewing this film eigthy-three years after it was made is like reading a love poem to the craftsmanship, ingenuity, muscles, and sinews of the mechanical age.
