1
00:00:53,379 --> 00:00:55,275
Narrator:
A quality pot and pan
2
00:00:55,379 --> 00:00:57,931
Has the ability
To heat uniformly throughout
3
00:00:58,034 --> 00:00:59,655
So that food cooks evenly.
4
00:00:59,758 --> 00:01:02,482
Copper is by far
The best heat conductor,
5
00:01:02,586 --> 00:01:05,068
But copper cookware
Is very expensive.
6
00:01:05,172 --> 00:01:08,103
Aluminum conducts heat well
But isn't durable.
7
00:01:08,206 --> 00:01:10,896
So many cooks use
Stainless-steel cookware
8
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,965
That contains aluminum.
9
00:01:17,758 --> 00:01:20,413
This high-end line
Of stainless-steel cookware
10
00:01:20,517 --> 00:01:23,344
Has an aluminum core
Running throughout.
11
00:01:25,965 --> 00:01:29,000
Production begins
With two stainless-steel sheets.
12
00:01:29,103 --> 00:01:31,000
Using a spot welder,
13
00:01:31,103 --> 00:01:33,793
Workers tack them together
Along one side.
14
00:01:37,206 --> 00:01:39,620
Then they lay
The connected sheets
15
00:01:39,724 --> 00:01:41,344
Onto an assembly fixture.
16
00:01:41,448 --> 00:01:43,965
A vacuum arm pulls up
The top sheet,
17
00:01:44,068 --> 00:01:46,827
And they insert
An aluminum sheet in between.
18
00:01:55,793 --> 00:01:58,758
This metal sandwich
Goes onto a conveyor
19
00:01:58,862 --> 00:02:02,482
That takes it on a 10-minute
Ride through an oven.
20
00:02:02,586 --> 00:02:05,620
The heat --
700 degrees fahrenheit --
21
00:02:05,724 --> 00:02:07,310
Softens the metal.
22
00:02:07,413 --> 00:02:12,206
This preps them for the bonding
And shaping operations to come.
23
00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:14,931
From the oven, the metals
Enter the first mill,
24
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:16,517
Which uses electric current
25
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:19,448
To heat and bond
The three layers into one.
26
00:02:23,172 --> 00:02:25,931
Now it's into
A second rolling mill.
27
00:02:26,034 --> 00:02:28,137
This one strengthens the bond.
28
00:02:28,241 --> 00:02:31,827
That steam you see
Is the water-soluble lubricant
29
00:02:31,931 --> 00:02:34,586
Evaporating
Against the hot metal.
30
00:02:34,689 --> 00:02:38,413
Now the bonded metal travels
To a second oven for reheating.
31
00:02:38,517 --> 00:02:41,655
This further strengthens
The bond.
32
00:02:41,758 --> 00:02:45,379
From there,
It's into a 110-ton press.
33
00:02:45,482 --> 00:02:47,965
It forces down a die
To cut out the starting shape
34
00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:50,965
Of the piece of cookware
They're making.
35
00:02:57,758 --> 00:03:00,448
They clean off any debris
From the metal cutting.
36
00:03:00,551 --> 00:03:03,482
Even a minute shard
Getting under the press
37
00:03:03,586 --> 00:03:05,275
Would damage the metal.
38
00:03:10,344 --> 00:03:13,034
Now the disk goes
Into a 220-ton press
39
00:03:13,137 --> 00:03:14,896
Containing a forming tool,
40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,620
Which forms it into the shape
Of a 10-inch frying pan.
41
00:03:21,206 --> 00:03:23,862
A sheet of paper
Between each shaped pan
42
00:03:23,965 --> 00:03:25,206
Prevents scratches.
43
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:28,482
They install different
Forming tools on the press
44
00:03:28,586 --> 00:03:31,206
To produce different types
Of cookware,
45
00:03:31,310 --> 00:03:34,000
From saucepans to stockpots.
46
00:03:37,344 --> 00:03:39,344
Now that they've formed
The shape,
47
00:03:39,448 --> 00:03:41,068
They need to do some refining.
48
00:03:41,172 --> 00:03:43,137
This trimming press
First removes
49
00:03:43,241 --> 00:03:45,241
Excess metal
Around the perimeter.
50
00:03:51,724 --> 00:03:54,793
Next comes what they call
Edge conditioning.
51
00:03:54,896 --> 00:03:57,413
The perimeter trimming
Left the rim rough,
52
00:03:57,517 --> 00:03:58,896
So now they smooth it
53
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,758
By running it against a cutter
At high speed.
54
00:04:06,517 --> 00:04:08,689
The next stop
Is a polishing machine
55
00:04:08,793 --> 00:04:10,551
With an abrasive belt.
56
00:04:10,655 --> 00:04:12,758
The pan's interior surface
57
00:04:12,862 --> 00:04:15,689
Rotates at high speed
Against the belt.
58
00:04:15,793 --> 00:04:19,034
The result
Is a high-gloss finish.
59
00:04:19,137 --> 00:04:21,275
Now for the exterior.
60
00:04:26,965 --> 00:04:29,620
The pans go onto
A rotary buffer.
61
00:04:29,724 --> 00:04:31,965
Each pan runs against
62
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:34,620
10 progressively finer
Buffing wheels.
63
00:04:34,724 --> 00:04:36,586
By the end of the circuit,
64
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:39,689
The stainless steel
Has a mirror finish.
65
00:04:49,344 --> 00:04:52,551
It's time to get a handle
On this cookware.
66
00:04:52,655 --> 00:04:54,379
First, they use a press
67
00:04:54,482 --> 00:04:56,137
That's essentially
An industrial-strength
68
00:04:56,241 --> 00:04:57,448
Hole puncher.
69
00:04:57,551 --> 00:05:01,896
It applies nearly 20 tons
Of force to perforate the metal.
70
00:05:04,827 --> 00:05:07,344
Workers position rivets
In the holes,
71
00:05:07,448 --> 00:05:10,344
Then use another press
To squeeze them flat.
72
00:05:10,448 --> 00:05:13,413
As the rivets spread outward,
73
00:05:13,517 --> 00:05:16,482
They secure the handle
Firmly in place.
74
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:24,758
This company's top-of-the-line
Stainless-steel cookware
75
00:05:24,862 --> 00:05:27,758
Contains a copper core
Within the aluminum core --
76
00:05:27,862 --> 00:05:30,379
A structure
Designed specifically
77
00:05:30,482 --> 00:05:34,827
For induction cooking,
The latest culinary technology.
78
00:05:36,482 --> 00:05:40,241
A thin cut along the perimeter
Exposes the copper within,
79
00:05:40,344 --> 00:05:43,517
Giving this high-end cookware
A signature look.
80
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:46,793
After all, performance
And style are everything
81
00:05:46,896 --> 00:05:51,034
In an industry where the
Competition's always heating up.
82
00:06:01,827 --> 00:06:03,275
Narrator: for centuries,
83
00:06:03,379 --> 00:06:06,655
People have stored their
Possessions in special boxes --
84
00:06:06,758 --> 00:06:09,793
Jewelry chests, watch cases,
Music boxes.
85
00:06:09,896 --> 00:06:11,551
Although designed for storage,
86
00:06:11,655 --> 00:06:14,103
They're often as beautiful
And as treasured
87
00:06:14,206 --> 00:06:15,551
As the goods they hold --
88
00:06:15,655 --> 00:06:19,689
Truly ornate, handcrafted works
Of art in their own right.
89
00:06:25,034 --> 00:06:27,827
These wooden boxes
Are handcrafted and decorated
90
00:06:27,931 --> 00:06:31,241
With beautiful
Wooden inlay designs.
91
00:06:31,344 --> 00:06:34,896
To build the box structure,
The carpenter uses linden,
92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,655
A soft wood
That's ideal for carving.
93
00:06:40,103 --> 00:06:44,344
He begins by cutting slots
In each end of the four sides.
94
00:06:46,896 --> 00:06:49,551
Then he glues wooden inserts,
Called biscuits,
95
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:52,068
Into one side of each piece...
96
00:06:52,172 --> 00:06:55,862
Leaving the slot
On the other side empty.
97
00:06:55,965 --> 00:06:57,724
Then he assembles the sides
98
00:06:57,827 --> 00:07:00,206
By fitting the biscuits
Of each side
99
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:03,275
Into the empty slot
Of the connecting piece.
100
00:07:09,172 --> 00:07:11,965
After clamping everything
Firmly together,
101
00:07:12,068 --> 00:07:15,827
He checks the size by tracing
A template of the final shape.
102
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:22,206
Once the glue is dry,
103
00:07:22,310 --> 00:07:26,896
This computer-guided machine
Cuts the sides to that shape.
104
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,793
The next step
Will be to veneer the sides
105
00:07:29,896 --> 00:07:31,551
With a decorative wood,
106
00:07:31,655 --> 00:07:33,896
Such as olive, rosewood,
107
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,413
Redwood,
Or california burr walnut.
108
00:07:37,517 --> 00:07:42,206
For aesthetics, workers tape
Four identical sheets together
109
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:46,000
So that the grain of the wood
Appears in mirror image.
110
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:52,551
The carpenter
Then applies a coat of glue
111
00:07:52,655 --> 00:07:54,689
Onto the sides of the box
112
00:07:54,793 --> 00:07:58,655
And presses on
A piece of veneer.
113
00:07:58,758 --> 00:08:02,137
They've embellished this one
With some inlay work beforehand.
114
00:08:04,172 --> 00:08:08,000
He presses the veneer flat
To force out any trapped air.
115
00:08:11,793 --> 00:08:15,482
This design calls for
A black strip of bolivar wood
116
00:08:15,586 --> 00:08:18,000
To ornament each corner.
117
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:22,034
To make the box cover,
118
00:08:22,137 --> 00:08:25,275
The carpenter uses a machine
Called a pantograph.
119
00:08:25,379 --> 00:08:29,103
He moves the head in the middle
Over a model of the cover.
120
00:08:29,206 --> 00:08:32,448
This simultaneously
Moves routers on each side
121
00:08:32,551 --> 00:08:36,896
To shape a piece of wood
To the same form.
122
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,551
Meanwhile, the inlayer
Lays a drawing
123
00:08:39,655 --> 00:08:43,344
Of the cover's decorative design
On a stack of wood boards
124
00:08:43,448 --> 00:08:46,965
And cuts out inlay pieces
For several covers at once.
125
00:08:55,862 --> 00:08:58,275
To color the edges
Of select pieces,
126
00:08:58,379 --> 00:09:01,413
The inlayer burns them
In hot sand.
127
00:09:04,965 --> 00:09:09,379
Some types of wood turn brown --
Others, green.
128
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:13,172
After hand-cutting the design
Outline in a veneer sheet,
129
00:09:13,275 --> 00:09:15,310
The inlayer uses tweezers
130
00:09:15,413 --> 00:09:18,517
To position the pieces of inlay
One by one.
131
00:09:20,862 --> 00:09:23,034
A sheet
Of adhesive paper underneath
132
00:09:23,137 --> 00:09:25,862
Holds the pieces in place
For now.
133
00:09:42,689 --> 00:09:44,172
Once the design is complete,
134
00:09:44,275 --> 00:09:47,034
The carpenter fills the crevices
Around the pieces
135
00:09:47,137 --> 00:09:49,586
With plaster tinted to blend in.
136
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:54,172
A final layer of plaster
Goes over the entire design
137
00:09:54,275 --> 00:09:57,344
To hold all the pieces in place
Permanently.
138
00:09:57,448 --> 00:09:59,137
Once the plaster hardens,
139
00:09:59,241 --> 00:10:02,172
He covers the entire inlaid
Sheet in glue,
140
00:10:02,275 --> 00:10:04,965
Further securing
The inlaid pieces.
141
00:10:07,482 --> 00:10:10,034
Now he flips it over,
142
00:10:10,137 --> 00:10:13,827
Then peels away
The adhesive paper...
143
00:10:13,931 --> 00:10:15,689
And voilĂ .
144
00:10:21,689 --> 00:10:25,586
He glues the inlaid sheet
To the box cover.
145
00:10:25,689 --> 00:10:28,206
Pressing it down firmly
Is a delicate process
146
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:30,758
When the cover's curved
Like this one.
147
00:10:30,862 --> 00:10:34,586
One wrong move, and crack.
148
00:10:34,689 --> 00:10:36,965
After lacquering
The edge of the cover,
149
00:10:37,068 --> 00:10:39,724
Workers apply four coats
Of high-gloss varnish
150
00:10:39,827 --> 00:10:42,482
To protect the wood.
151
00:10:42,586 --> 00:10:45,620
Finally, they screw on
The box bottom,
152
00:10:45,724 --> 00:10:48,344
Mount the cover to the box
With hinges,
153
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:51,448
Install any other hardware,
Such as keyholes,
154
00:10:51,551 --> 00:10:55,793
And if it's a music box,
Install the musical movement.
155
00:11:09,482 --> 00:11:11,931
Narrator:
Conventional gas water heaters
156
00:11:12,034 --> 00:11:14,448
Are only about
75% thermally efficient.
157
00:11:14,551 --> 00:11:16,620
But high-efficiency
Water heaters
158
00:11:16,724 --> 00:11:19,586
Are up to
96% thermally efficient,
159
00:11:19,689 --> 00:11:22,068
Meaning almost all the heat
They generate
160
00:11:22,172 --> 00:11:23,758
Gets transferred to the water.
161
00:11:23,862 --> 00:11:25,482
It's the unique heat exchanger
162
00:11:25,586 --> 00:11:28,482
That makes these water heaters
So energy-efficient.
163
00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:36,172
The heat exchanger resides
In the center of the unit.
164
00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:37,862
It's made of steel pipe
165
00:11:37,965 --> 00:11:41,413
That goes through a process
Called mandrel bending.
166
00:11:41,517 --> 00:11:44,689
Mandrel bending prevents
The 12-yard-long pipe
167
00:11:44,793 --> 00:11:48,241
From kinking as it turns
Into the shape of a coil.
168
00:11:54,206 --> 00:11:58,206
A welder fuses steel rods
To the sides of the coil,
169
00:11:58,310 --> 00:12:00,241
Making the flexible
Heat exchanger
170
00:12:00,344 --> 00:12:02,000
Suitably ridged.
171
00:12:05,896 --> 00:12:09,758
Next, a machine pumps a ceramic
Enamel through the pipe,
172
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:12,551
From the bottom up,
To ensure full coverage.
173
00:12:12,655 --> 00:12:15,655
This coating protects
The interior of the pipe
174
00:12:15,758 --> 00:12:18,000
Against corrosion.
175
00:12:18,103 --> 00:12:19,724
It takes about 6 minutes
176
00:12:19,827 --> 00:12:22,344
To fully coat
The inside of the pipe
177
00:12:22,448 --> 00:12:24,689
And drain the remaining liquid.
178
00:12:29,655 --> 00:12:32,172
It takes about 15 minutes
Inside a furnace
179
00:12:32,275 --> 00:12:36,551
For the coating to cure
And become rock hard.
180
00:12:36,655 --> 00:12:39,103
Now it's time
To seal the heat exchanger
181
00:12:39,206 --> 00:12:40,551
Inside an inner tank.
182
00:12:41,965 --> 00:12:44,310
They first set it down
On a base,
183
00:12:44,413 --> 00:12:46,931
Then cover it
With a steel enclosure.
184
00:12:47,034 --> 00:12:50,310
It's this inner tank
That holds the hot water.
185
00:12:55,655 --> 00:12:58,103
The tank then goes
Into a vertical press
186
00:12:58,206 --> 00:13:01,000
That pushes it down
Onto the base.
187
00:13:05,172 --> 00:13:07,344
A computerized
Arc-welding machine
188
00:13:07,448 --> 00:13:09,275
Welds the tank together.
189
00:13:12,896 --> 00:13:15,896
A technician then pressurizes
The tank with air,
190
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,206
And, using water,
He checks for leaks
191
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:20,551
Until he's satisfied
There are none.
192
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,620
He then pumps ceramic enamel
Into the tank,
193
00:13:28,724 --> 00:13:30,413
And a tumble-coating machine
194
00:13:30,517 --> 00:13:33,103
Shakes up
The corrosion-resistant enamel,
195
00:13:33,206 --> 00:13:35,551
Fully coating
The inside of the tank
196
00:13:35,655 --> 00:13:38,517
As well as the outside
Of the heat exchanger.
197
00:13:44,103 --> 00:13:46,896
A technician then inserts
Cold-water inlet tubes
198
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,793
Into each tank.
199
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:52,655
He also inserts
Aluminum anode rods
200
00:13:52,758 --> 00:13:55,137
To help protect
The inside of the unit
201
00:13:55,241 --> 00:13:57,344
By absorbing corrosive elements
In the water
202
00:13:57,448 --> 00:13:59,724
Before they can attack
The steel tank.
203
00:13:59,827 --> 00:14:02,413
After attaching
All the plumber's fittings,
204
00:14:02,517 --> 00:14:04,586
He installs a second anode rod
205
00:14:04,689 --> 00:14:08,448
That gives the tanks
Double corrosion protection.
206
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:18,068
Now they put on what's called
A rolling foam stop
207
00:14:18,172 --> 00:14:20,965
That helps them fit
A painted jacket over the shell
208
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,310
And maintain it in place.
209
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:27,758
Here, they attach the gas valve
210
00:14:27,862 --> 00:14:30,310
That is used to light
The burner.
211
00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:41,000
A painted cover then goes
On the top of the jacket.
212
00:14:43,931 --> 00:14:45,862
They connect a blower
To the tank.
213
00:14:45,965 --> 00:14:48,551
The blower is what expels
The burner's spent gases
214
00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:51,241
To the outside air.
215
00:14:56,517 --> 00:15:00,827
The next step is to hook up
A burner to the gas valve.
216
00:15:00,931 --> 00:15:03,103
This burner
Is what heats the air
217
00:15:03,206 --> 00:15:05,620
That goes through
The heat exchanger,
218
00:15:05,724 --> 00:15:08,655
Which, in turn, transfers
Its heat to the water.
219
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:13,896
A technician
Now fills the cavity
220
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,517
Between the inner shell
And outer jacket
221
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:19,137
With high-density
Expanding foam.
222
00:15:21,655 --> 00:15:24,172
This foam insulation
Is about 2 inches thick
223
00:15:24,275 --> 00:15:27,034
And goes all around
The circumference of the tank
224
00:15:27,137 --> 00:15:29,827
To prevent heat loss.
225
00:15:29,931 --> 00:15:32,448
The unit then gets
A cosmetic cover
226
00:15:32,551 --> 00:15:34,448
That conceals the blower.
227
00:15:37,724 --> 00:15:42,103
Finally, a technician hooks up
And tests each unit.
228
00:15:43,413 --> 00:15:46,137
He follows strict
Quality-control standards
229
00:15:46,241 --> 00:15:48,103
Which guarantee that the burner
230
00:15:48,206 --> 00:15:50,517
And all the fittings
And connections
231
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:53,275
Are working properly.
232
00:15:53,379 --> 00:15:56,413
Only then is the unit
Ready for shipping.
233
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:00,344
High-efficiency water heaters
234
00:16:00,448 --> 00:16:02,793
Can deliver
All the hot water you need
235
00:16:02,896 --> 00:16:06,103
And save you money
While they're at it.
236
00:16:18,137 --> 00:16:20,620
Narrator: the motor scooter
As we know it
237
00:16:20,724 --> 00:16:23,137
Hit the streets
Just after world war ii.
238
00:16:23,241 --> 00:16:26,275
Europe was rebuilding
Its devastated infrastructure,
239
00:16:26,379 --> 00:16:29,241
And the scooter offered
Affordable transportation
240
00:16:29,344 --> 00:16:30,620
At this critical time.
241
00:16:30,724 --> 00:16:32,103
So in a small way,
242
00:16:32,206 --> 00:16:34,724
It helped put
The postwar economy
243
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:36,827
On the road to recovery.
244
00:16:40,896 --> 00:16:43,586
Many decades
After it was first introduced,
245
00:16:43,689 --> 00:16:46,206
The scooter is still big
On the streets,
246
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:50,586
And the uncertain cost of fuel
Is one reason why.
247
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:57,689
Production begins
With a step-through chassis.
248
00:16:57,793 --> 00:17:00,241
It's often built
On a tubular frame.
249
00:17:00,344 --> 00:17:04,206
But at this factory,
They have a unique approach.
250
00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:09,310
Robots join three pieces
Of molded steel together
251
00:17:09,413 --> 00:17:13,379
By executing hundreds
Of precision welds.
252
00:17:13,482 --> 00:17:16,068
This transforms
The three molded pieces
253
00:17:16,172 --> 00:17:18,517
Into one solid chassis.
254
00:17:20,586 --> 00:17:22,206
After rustproofing and priming,
255
00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:27,137
The chassis gets a paint job
And a clear protective veneer.
256
00:17:27,241 --> 00:17:30,137
They cure the finish
By baking it on.
257
00:17:33,379 --> 00:17:36,206
Then they polish away
Any imperfections.
258
00:17:39,379 --> 00:17:41,413
The chassis moves down the line,
259
00:17:41,517 --> 00:17:44,931
Where a technician installs
Its radiator system.
260
00:17:48,206 --> 00:17:51,620
The next assembler clamps
The radiator's wiring and hoses
261
00:17:51,724 --> 00:17:54,586
To the vehicle framework.
262
00:17:54,689 --> 00:17:58,758
Some plastic edging helps define
The lines of the scooter.
263
00:18:02,241 --> 00:18:06,137
This model receives a 4-stroke,
150cc engine,
264
00:18:06,241 --> 00:18:09,482
Which will make this scooter
A bit more peppy than some.
265
00:18:09,586 --> 00:18:12,827
It also has
An automatic transmission.
266
00:18:19,517 --> 00:18:22,137
Once the rear wheel
Has been installed,
267
00:18:22,241 --> 00:18:25,448
The worker hoists the engine
Over to the chassis.
268
00:18:25,551 --> 00:18:29,000
He guides it into place
Just behind the passenger seat
269
00:18:29,103 --> 00:18:32,103
And then bolts it
To the steel framework.
270
00:18:33,862 --> 00:18:35,862
Next up is the steering column
271
00:18:35,965 --> 00:18:39,517
With the front brakes
And wheel hub already attached.
272
00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:42,965
The technician assembles it
To a front fender...
273
00:18:45,206 --> 00:18:47,655
...Then inserts
The steering column in its slot
274
00:18:47,758 --> 00:18:50,620
At the front
Of the scooter body.
275
00:18:53,137 --> 00:18:56,034
Securing it
Is a delicate business.
276
00:18:56,137 --> 00:18:57,724
He tightens this special tool
277
00:18:57,827 --> 00:19:00,068
To gently squeeze
The assembly together.
278
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:03,586
This technique prevents damage
To the components.
279
00:19:03,689 --> 00:19:07,103
The handlebar is loosely screwed
Into place for now
280
00:19:07,206 --> 00:19:09,620
But will be properly
Tightened down later.
281
00:19:18,724 --> 00:19:21,793
This scooter's front wheel
Has a 12-inch rim.
282
00:19:21,896 --> 00:19:25,551
That's quite a bit bigger
Than those on early scooters.
283
00:19:25,655 --> 00:19:28,103
The bigger wheels add stability
284
00:19:28,206 --> 00:19:29,344
And allow this scooter
285
00:19:29,448 --> 00:19:31,793
To reach a higher speed
Than its forerunners.
286
00:19:33,275 --> 00:19:35,103
To illuminate the road ahead,
287
00:19:35,206 --> 00:19:38,275
This 2-wheeler
Will need a headlight.
288
00:19:38,379 --> 00:19:40,689
It mounts onto the handlebar.
289
00:19:42,758 --> 00:19:46,103
A technician then puts
This scooter to the test.
290
00:19:46,206 --> 00:19:49,310
She checks the headlight
And all the signal lights.
291
00:19:57,689 --> 00:20:00,068
She engages the motor
And throttles up
292
00:20:00,172 --> 00:20:03,275
To check both wheels
And the speed gauges.
293
00:20:04,965 --> 00:20:06,517
Once it gets the okay,
294
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:09,413
A worker installs
The cover on the horn
295
00:20:09,517 --> 00:20:13,310
And then accessorizes
The scooter with pieces of trim.
296
00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:18,241
And now they install
The scooter's saddle
297
00:20:18,344 --> 00:20:21,517
On a hinge
Over a storage compartment.
298
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,103
Another buff and polish
Makes this machine gleam.
299
00:20:32,103 --> 00:20:34,827
The worker then installs
Pop-out footrests
300
00:20:34,931 --> 00:20:36,655
For the passenger.
301
00:20:38,586 --> 00:20:40,517
After one last shine,
302
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:43,000
It's over
To the quality inspector.
303
00:20:43,103 --> 00:20:45,068
That's the lady in yellow.
304
00:20:45,172 --> 00:20:48,551
She scrutinizes the vehicle
From all angles.
305
00:20:51,793 --> 00:20:53,896
And when she gives it
The green light,
306
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,379
This scooter is ready
To merge with traffic.
307
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:02,724
Life on the street can be tough,
308
00:21:02,827 --> 00:21:06,482
But this design has had a lot
Of road testing over the years,
309
00:21:06,586 --> 00:21:09,689
And that's what makes
The motor scooter a classic.
