>> narrator: the latest
3
00:00:53,867 --> 00:00:55,700
Taxidermy trend is motion.
4
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,600
Today many museums and nature
5
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,633
Centers feature wildlife models
6
00:00:59,633 --> 00:01:01,367
That move.
7
00:01:01,367 --> 00:01:03,200
These robotic replicas look so
8
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,067
Lifelike that hunters use them
9
00:01:05,067 --> 00:01:06,867
As decoys and game wardens set
10
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:08,367
Them out to catch poachers in
11
00:01:08,367 --> 00:01:12,367
The act.
12
00:01:12,367 --> 00:01:14,700
Activated by remote control, the
13
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,933
Robotic decoy's head turns and
14
00:01:16,933 --> 00:01:18,333
Its tail wags.
15
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:20,067
More elaborate models have
16
00:01:20,067 --> 00:01:21,933
Additional moving body parts.
17
00:01:21,933 --> 00:01:23,400
The decoys can be set up
18
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,933
Directly on the ground or
19
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:26,567
Installed on a track system,
20
00:01:26,567 --> 00:01:28,167
Which moves it along as though
21
00:01:28,167 --> 00:01:30,067
It is walking.
22
00:01:30,067 --> 00:01:32,300
At the decoy factory, they begin
23
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:34,467
By waxing a two-part fiberglass
24
00:01:34,467 --> 00:01:35,433
Body mold.
25
00:01:35,433 --> 00:01:37,067
This one's for a deer.
26
00:01:37,067 --> 00:01:39,367
Waxing the mold cavity will make
27
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:41,600
It easy to extract the casting.
28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Next, they put steel
29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,933
Reinforcement bars in the legs.
30
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:51,767
The bars stick out the bottom of
31
00:01:51,767 --> 00:01:53,533
The hoofs as stakes to prop the
32
00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:55,700
Decoy on the ground.
33
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,333
They apply the other half of
34
00:01:57,333 --> 00:01:59,067
The mold and clamp around the
35
00:01:59,067 --> 00:02:00,367
Perimeter to hold the two parts
36
00:02:00,367 --> 00:02:02,733
Together.
37
00:02:02,733 --> 00:02:04,633
They prepare the mold for the
38
00:02:04,633 --> 00:02:06,600
Deer's head the same way, then
39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,100
Pour in a bit of liquid casting
40
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,767
Material.
41
00:02:10,767 --> 00:02:12,667
They pour about three quarts
42
00:02:12,667 --> 00:02:15,633
Of it into the body mold...
43
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:19,300
And clamp on the head mold.
44
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,300
This casting material is
45
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,633
Expanding polyurethane foam.
46
00:02:24,633 --> 00:02:26,900
It begins swelling immediately
47
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:28,600
And within two minutes reaches
48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,533
Full expansion, transforming
49
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:32,433
From a liquid to a flexible
50
00:02:32,433 --> 00:02:33,700
Solid.
51
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:35,600
Over the next hour and a half,
52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,233
The foam cures to a hard,
53
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:38,767
Inflexible state, at which
54
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:40,433
Point they remove the clamps
55
00:02:40,433 --> 00:02:44,767
And extract the casting.
56
00:02:44,767 --> 00:02:46,433
Some foam seeped out between
57
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:48,267
The two halves of the molds and
58
00:02:48,267 --> 00:02:49,433
Between where the head meets
59
00:02:49,433 --> 00:02:51,633
The body, producing seams which
60
00:02:51,633 --> 00:02:55,133
Workers now sand flat.
61
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,533
Using a round drill bit, they
62
00:02:57,533 --> 00:03:00,333
Make one-inch sockets for eyes.
63
00:03:00,333 --> 00:03:02,700
Then, with a miniature router
64
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,533
Bit, they drill out nostrils.
65
00:03:04,533 --> 00:03:06,500
They glue a glass eye into each
66
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,400
Socket with a bit of wet clay.
67
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,500
When the clay dries, the eye is
68
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,167
Set securely in place.
69
00:03:13,167 --> 00:03:15,800
No faux fur for these decoys.
70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,767
Workers scrape any remnants of
71
00:03:17,767 --> 00:03:19,067
Flesh off a real deer hide,
72
00:03:19,067 --> 00:03:20,667
Then wash the hide and apply
73
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:23,567
A preservative.
74
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:31,333
Then they slip the hide over
75
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:34,233
The foam deer.
76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,767
They fit the fur to the form
77
00:03:43,767 --> 00:03:45,967
Snugly using a combination of
78
00:03:45,967 --> 00:03:52,800
Staples, glue, and stitching.
79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,333
Once the deer is fully dressed,
80
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:56,967
It is put aside for four to six
81
00:03:56,967 --> 00:03:57,467
Weeks.
82
00:03:57,467 --> 00:03:59,067
This gives the preservative
83
00:03:59,067 --> 00:04:00,900
Ample time to penetrate and do
84
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,067
Its job, which is to dry and
85
00:04:03,067 --> 00:04:04,367
Harden the hide.
86
00:04:04,367 --> 00:04:06,067
This is essential to ward off
87
00:04:06,067 --> 00:04:07,833
Insects and prevent the hide
88
00:04:07,833 --> 00:04:09,333
From decomposing.
89
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:10,533
The taxidermy phase of
90
00:04:10,533 --> 00:04:14,167
Production is now complete.
91
00:04:14,167 --> 00:04:16,233
Now off with his head...
92
00:04:16,233 --> 00:04:17,900
Because it is time to install
93
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,500
The robotics, which will make
94
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,067
The head move.
95
00:04:23,067 --> 00:04:24,333
The first step is to drill out
96
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:26,500
A cavity inside the neck.
97
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,300
This creates a pocket in which
98
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:30,067
To install the plastic housing
99
00:04:30,067 --> 00:04:31,467
Which contains the robotic
100
00:04:31,467 --> 00:04:35,133
Components.
101
00:04:35,133 --> 00:04:37,133
The first of those components
102
00:04:37,133 --> 00:04:40,367
Is a compact motor.
103
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:42,533
It drives this hard plastic
104
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:46,200
Gear.
105
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,933
Next, the receiver for the
106
00:04:47,933 --> 00:04:49,367
Remote control...
107
00:04:49,367 --> 00:04:51,167
Then a aa battery pack that
108
00:04:51,167 --> 00:04:52,867
Powers both the motor and
109
00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:55,700
The receiver.
110
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:57,467
All this goes into the neck
111
00:04:57,467 --> 00:05:02,867
Pocket.
112
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:04,733
They drill out a cavity in the
113
00:05:04,733 --> 00:05:06,467
Head and install a gear and
114
00:05:06,467 --> 00:05:10,633
Shaft.
115
00:05:10,633 --> 00:05:12,233
The final step is to mount the
116
00:05:12,233 --> 00:05:14,300
Head on to the body, inserting
117
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:16,067
The shaft into the gear on top
118
00:05:16,067 --> 00:05:16,833
Of the motor.
119
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:18,933
So now when the motor runs, it
120
00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:21,067
Rotates the gear, which turns
121
00:05:21,067 --> 00:05:22,667
The shaft, which moves the
122
00:05:22,667 --> 00:05:24,167
Decoy's head.
123
00:05:24,167 --> 00:05:25,900
Each moving body part has
124
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:27,800
The identical mechanics, its
125
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Receiver corresponding to a
126
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,700
Dedicated switch on the remote
127
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:31,733
Control.
128
00:05:31,733 --> 00:05:33,533
The remote works for more
129
00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:35,700
Than 3/10 of a mile away.
130
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:37,300
You can even program it to put
131
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,767
The decoy through a pre-set
132
00:05:38,767 --> 00:05:40,933
Motion routine.
133
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:52,367
>> narrator: often considered
134
00:05:52,367 --> 00:05:53,800
To be a veggie, the tomato is
135
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,767
Actually a fruit.
136
00:05:54,767 --> 00:05:56,700
It is developed from the ovary
137
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,333
Of the plant and it has seeds.
138
00:05:58,333 --> 00:06:00,700
It is also the most popular one
139
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:01,433
On the planet.
140
00:06:01,433 --> 00:06:02,800
Mechanization of canning in
141
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,300
The last century has made that
142
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,167
Possible, ensuring that tomatoes
143
00:06:06,167 --> 00:06:08,067
Are preserved when they are ripe
144
00:06:08,067 --> 00:06:13,067
And ready.
145
00:06:13,067 --> 00:06:14,967
All you need is a can opener to
146
00:06:14,967 --> 00:06:16,900
Unlock the juicy flavor of the
147
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:18,900
Field tomato.
148
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,600
There are more than 2,000
149
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,500
Varieties.
150
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:23,500
For canning purposes, they grow
151
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:25,333
A type with a thick skin and
152
00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:27,300
Firm consistency so machinery
153
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,333
Can pick and sort them without
154
00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:32,067
Damaging the flesh.
155
00:06:32,067 --> 00:06:33,733
Rotating clippers cut the vines
156
00:06:33,733 --> 00:06:34,833
As the harvester drives over
157
00:06:34,833 --> 00:06:39,167
The crop.
158
00:06:39,167 --> 00:06:40,867
Once cut, the plants ride
159
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:42,533
An elevator belt up into
160
00:06:42,533 --> 00:06:45,067
The harvester.
161
00:06:45,067 --> 00:06:47,067
Inside the harvester, metal
162
00:06:47,067 --> 00:06:48,833
Prongs shake the tomatoes
163
00:06:48,833 --> 00:06:50,500
To free them from the vines.
164
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,067
An electronic color sorter
165
00:06:52,067 --> 00:06:55,433
Rejects the green ones.
166
00:06:55,433 --> 00:06:57,600
A conveyor transfers the red,
167
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,567
Ripe tomatoes to a trailer
168
00:06:59,567 --> 00:07:00,967
Traveling alongside the
169
00:07:00,967 --> 00:07:03,067
Harvester.
170
00:07:03,067 --> 00:07:04,633
Once they have a load of 24
171
00:07:04,633 --> 00:07:06,200
Tons, they deliver the tomatoes
172
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200
To the canning factory.
173
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,433
Here they fill the trailer with
174
00:07:10,433 --> 00:07:12,667
Water to float the tomatoes out
175
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:14,233
Through a door at the side.
176
00:07:14,233 --> 00:07:16,367
The tomatoes land on a slatted
177
00:07:16,367 --> 00:07:17,633
Conveyor.
178
00:07:17,633 --> 00:07:19,233
The water, dirty from residual
179
00:07:19,233 --> 00:07:21,133
Soil, drains away through the
180
00:07:21,133 --> 00:07:22,233
Slats.
181
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:23,900
The tomatoes land in a clean,
182
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:25,600
Water-filled channel, and here
183
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,233
Any rocks sink to the bottom
184
00:07:27,233 --> 00:07:28,567
And are removed.
185
00:07:28,567 --> 00:07:30,900
The tomatoes float on into a big
186
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,367
Tank where jets churn up the
187
00:07:32,367 --> 00:07:34,067
Water for more gentle cleansing
188
00:07:34,067 --> 00:07:35,467
Action.
189
00:07:35,467 --> 00:07:37,167
The tomatoes then head up to
190
00:07:37,167 --> 00:07:38,367
A sorting line.
191
00:07:38,367 --> 00:07:40,533
They travel over metal bars and
192
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:42,067
Smaller tomatoes fall through
193
00:07:42,067 --> 00:07:42,800
The gaps.
194
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,067
They will be used to make
195
00:07:44,067 --> 00:07:46,067
Tomato juice.
196
00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:48,067
The others fly forward past 60
197
00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:50,333
Tiny cameras that detect pale
198
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,067
Or yellowish tomatoes.
199
00:07:52,067 --> 00:07:54,067
Pneumatic fingers knock those
200
00:07:54,067 --> 00:07:56,067
Tomatoes out of the batch.
201
00:07:56,067 --> 00:07:57,233
It all happens in less than
202
00:07:57,233 --> 00:08:00,133
A second.
203
00:08:00,133 --> 00:08:02,133
Looking for a damaged or broken
204
00:08:02,133 --> 00:08:04,067
Fruit now, humans inspect the
205
00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:04,933
Tomatoes.
206
00:08:04,933 --> 00:08:06,800
They send any rejects to another
207
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,533
Part of the factory to be used
208
00:08:08,533 --> 00:08:09,767
To make juice.
209
00:08:09,767 --> 00:08:11,967
The rest take the plunge into
210
00:08:11,967 --> 00:08:13,200
A very hot bath.
211
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200
This scalds the tomatoes and
212
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,067
Loosens the skins.
213
00:08:18,067 --> 00:08:19,467
The tomatoes then travel on
214
00:08:19,467 --> 00:08:21,333
A moving bed of rubber disks,
215
00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:22,833
And this gently pulls the skins
216
00:08:22,833 --> 00:08:26,333
Away from the tomatoes.
217
00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:28,267
A spray of water washes away
218
00:08:28,267 --> 00:08:30,400
The skins and they fall through
219
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,333
The rubber disks so there is no
220
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:35,667
Mess to clean up after peeling.
221
00:08:35,667 --> 00:08:37,833
The now-peeled tomatoes wash up
222
00:08:37,833 --> 00:08:39,567
On to another conveyor where
223
00:08:39,567 --> 00:08:40,933
Sprayers give them another
224
00:08:40,933 --> 00:08:43,100
Rinse.
225
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,733
This conveyor controls the flow
226
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,167
Of peeled tomatoes into the
227
00:08:46,167 --> 00:08:47,833
Processing room by metering
228
00:08:47,833 --> 00:08:52,067
The produce as it moves forward.
229
00:08:52,067 --> 00:08:53,933
Ahead, the dicer awaits.
230
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:55,200
It has three sets of
231
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,900
Cross-cutting blades for some
232
00:08:56,900 --> 00:09:00,100
Serious slicing action.
233
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:01,867
The tomatoes tumble down a shoot
234
00:09:01,867 --> 00:09:03,533
Into the dicer and are quickly
235
00:09:03,533 --> 00:09:06,367
Chopped into small cubes.
236
00:09:06,367 --> 00:09:07,867
The diced tomatoes ride by
237
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:09,633
Workers who pick out pieces that
238
00:09:09,633 --> 00:09:12,067
Aren't perfectly red.
239
00:09:12,067 --> 00:09:13,733
They also remove any core
240
00:09:13,733 --> 00:09:16,467
Pieces.
241
00:09:16,467 --> 00:09:18,200
Exiting a cleaning station,
242
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,500
The cans cue up for a fill-up.
243
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,300
Ahead, the diced tomatoes flow
244
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:23,867
Into metal pockets.
245
00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:25,533
This portions them out for
246
00:09:25,533 --> 00:09:26,400
The cans.
247
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
The pockets rotate forward to
248
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Meet the cans now moving in sync
249
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,433
Below.
250
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:33,133
The bottoms of the pockets open
251
00:09:33,133 --> 00:09:34,667
To release the contents into
252
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:35,800
The cans.
253
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,633
And it all happens with perfect
254
00:09:37,633 --> 00:09:38,733
Timing.
255
00:09:38,733 --> 00:09:40,733
They add hot tomato juice and
256
00:09:40,733 --> 00:09:42,233
Flavorings...
257
00:09:42,233 --> 00:09:43,700
And lids advance towards
258
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:45,567
The open cans.
259
00:09:45,567 --> 00:09:47,700
They land on top and a machine
260
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,700
Crimps the lids to the cans,
261
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,333
Creating a double seam for
262
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:53,833
A complete seal.
263
00:09:53,833 --> 00:09:55,300
Now in airtight cans, the
264
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:56,967
Tomatoes head into a hot oven
265
00:09:56,967 --> 00:09:58,800
For a quick cook.
266
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,133
This sterilizes them,
267
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,800
Eliminating the need to use
268
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,300
Preservatives.
269
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:05,200
The cans are now ready for
270
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,700
Labeling.
271
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:07,233
They spin across wheels that
272
00:10:07,233 --> 00:10:09,067
Apply glue to the sides.
273
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:11,067
They roll over paper labels that
274
00:10:11,067 --> 00:10:13,700
Adhere to the glue-covered cans.
275
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:14,967
Here is the labeling action
276
00:10:14,967 --> 00:10:18,467
Slowed down for the camera.
277
00:10:18,467 --> 00:10:20,400
The label contains brand and
278
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,533
Nutritional information as well
279
00:10:22,533 --> 00:10:24,567
As the exact time of production.
280
00:10:24,567 --> 00:10:26,700
This means it can be traced if
281
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:29,533
There is ever a quality issue.
282
00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:31,667
It has taken about one hour
283
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,233
For these field tomatoes to be
284
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:34,967
Harvested, canned, and labeled,
285
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:36,700
Preserving a taste of summer
286
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,467
To be enjoyed year-round.
287
00:10:50,933 --> 00:10:52,533
>> narrator: in every sport,
288
00:10:52,533 --> 00:10:54,533
Fans need to know the score.
289
00:10:54,533 --> 00:10:56,300
In the early days, scorekeepers
290
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:57,800
Climbed ladders to scrawl
291
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,567
Numbers on a chalkboard.
292
00:10:59,567 --> 00:11:01,300
By the time they were done,
293
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:02,467
The score might have changed,
294
00:11:02,467 --> 00:11:04,467
And it was time to start again.
295
00:11:04,467 --> 00:11:06,333
Modern scoreboards serve up
296
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:12,167
The numbers in an instant.
297
00:11:12,167 --> 00:11:14,833
Today's digital scoreboards
298
00:11:14,833 --> 00:11:16,233
Light up within seconds of a
299
00:11:16,233 --> 00:11:18,433
Game change, delivering results
300
00:11:18,433 --> 00:11:19,833
Fast and leaving fans cheering
301
00:11:19,833 --> 00:11:21,833
In the stands.
302
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:23,667
They start with the front of
303
00:11:23,667 --> 00:11:24,700
The board.
304
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,433
A computer program guides
305
00:11:26,433 --> 00:11:28,200
A plasma torch to cut out
306
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,833
Precisely-sized slots in
307
00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:31,500
A sheet of high-grade steel.
308
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:32,733
The slots will house the
309
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:33,933
Illuminated numerals and
310
00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:35,967
Indicators like arrows.
311
00:11:35,967 --> 00:11:38,267
A worker then feeds narrower
312
00:11:38,267 --> 00:11:40,333
Strips of steel to a press that
313
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,100
Bends back the edges to create
314
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,367
Tabs.
315
00:11:43,367 --> 00:11:45,067
These strips will serve as the
316
00:11:45,067 --> 00:11:46,167
Sides of the scoreboard, and
317
00:11:46,167 --> 00:11:47,867
The tabs will be used to install
318
00:11:47,867 --> 00:11:48,800
Them.
319
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Using a special compressed
320
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,067
Air tool, a worker clinches
321
00:11:52,067 --> 00:11:53,667
The tabs to the back of the
322
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:55,067
Scoreboard.
323
00:11:55,067 --> 00:11:56,700
This tool punches and stretches
324
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:58,167
The steel to interlock it,
325
00:11:58,167 --> 00:11:59,667
Joining the parts without using
326
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:02,067
Screws, rivets, or welds.
327
00:12:02,067 --> 00:12:04,067
He fastens four strips to
328
00:12:04,067 --> 00:12:06,733
The back panel.
329
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:08,500
He then attaches the plasma-cut
330
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:09,900
Front panel to complete
331
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:11,233
The basic structure of
332
00:12:11,233 --> 00:12:14,233
The scoreboard.
333
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:15,733
The next worker sprays a
334
00:12:15,733 --> 00:12:17,333
Powder-paint coating on to
335
00:12:17,333 --> 00:12:20,333
The entire scoreboard.
336
00:12:20,333 --> 00:12:21,700
Then it is into a giant
337
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,133
Convection oven for about
338
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:24,800
14 minutes to cure the
339
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,800
Powder paint.
340
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,200
The result is a tough
341
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Powder-paint skin that will make
342
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,100
It possible for the scoreboard
343
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:33,100
Metal to weather the elements.
344
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,067
They are now ready for working
345
00:12:35,067 --> 00:12:37,100
Parts like l.E.D. Light-studded
346
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,400
Digit boards, a data transmitter
347
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,167
And receiver.
348
00:12:40,167 --> 00:12:41,767
He connects the receiver to
349
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:43,500
The power source and installs
350
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:46,500
It inside the cabinet.
351
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:48,133
He pulls the antenna through
352
00:12:48,133 --> 00:12:49,900
A hole so it protrudes from the
353
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:51,500
Front, and he bends it out of
354
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:54,500
The way for now.
355
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,467
There are several light-studded
356
00:12:56,467 --> 00:12:57,967
Digit plates on a scoreboard.
357
00:12:57,967 --> 00:13:00,367
Each can flash any number.
358
00:13:00,367 --> 00:13:01,433
He wires them in a loop,
359
00:13:01,433 --> 00:13:02,733
Interconnecting them in what's
360
00:13:02,733 --> 00:13:03,967
Known as a daisy-chain
361
00:13:03,967 --> 00:13:05,567
Configuration.
362
00:13:05,567 --> 00:13:07,400
He also plugs in a ribbon-style
363
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,067
Cable to link the digits to
364
00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:10,667
The scoreboard's processing
365
00:13:10,667 --> 00:13:12,067
Module.
366
00:13:12,067 --> 00:13:13,467
He inserts the digits in the
367
00:13:13,467 --> 00:13:15,067
Slots on the front and shields
368
00:13:15,067 --> 00:13:16,667
Them with a sheet of transparent
369
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:18,067
Polycarbonate.
370
00:13:18,067 --> 00:13:20,100
He screws a metal framework
371
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:21,633
Around each digit assembly
372
00:13:21,633 --> 00:13:22,867
To secure it.
373
00:13:22,867 --> 00:13:25,200
He confirms that the wiring is
374
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Good and that all the numbers
375
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,233
Light up.
376
00:13:29,233 --> 00:13:30,667
He connects the wireless
377
00:13:30,667 --> 00:13:32,200
Computer processing module
378
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,367
To the numbers and also wires it
379
00:13:34,367 --> 00:13:35,333
To a power source.
380
00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:37,067
He mounts the module to a panel
381
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:38,500
That will then be installed
382
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:39,800
Through the back of the
383
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,633
Scoreboard cabinet.
384
00:13:44,633 --> 00:13:46,133
An evening inkjet printer
385
00:13:46,133 --> 00:13:47,967
Reproduces the company logo
386
00:13:47,967 --> 00:13:49,600
On adhesive-backed paper
387
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,133
Followed by some fierce-looking
388
00:13:51,133 --> 00:13:52,533
Team graphics.
389
00:13:52,533 --> 00:13:54,333
Later, a weatherproof coating
390
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,067
Will be applied to the paper
391
00:13:56,067 --> 00:13:57,900
Graphics.
392
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:00,633
They also use vinyl decals.
393
00:14:00,633 --> 00:14:02,133
The worker peels away the
394
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:03,833
Unwanted material from around
395
00:14:03,833 --> 00:14:04,667
The lettering.
396
00:14:04,667 --> 00:14:07,167
This is called weeding.
397
00:14:07,167 --> 00:14:08,867
After transferring the decals
398
00:14:08,867 --> 00:14:10,567
To applicator tape called the
399
00:14:10,567 --> 00:14:11,933
Pre-mask, she carefully
400
00:14:11,933 --> 00:14:13,400
Positions the grouping on
401
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,133
The front of the scoreboard.
402
00:14:16,133 --> 00:14:17,933
Satisfied that it's in the
403
00:14:17,933 --> 00:14:19,400
Perfect spot, she tapes it at
404
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,067
The top.
405
00:14:22,067 --> 00:14:23,700
She then peels off the backing,
406
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:25,167
And the letters cling to the
407
00:14:25,167 --> 00:14:30,667
Pre-mask.
408
00:14:30,667 --> 00:14:33,067
Using a squeegee, she presses
409
00:14:33,067 --> 00:14:35,067
The decals to the metal board,
410
00:14:35,067 --> 00:14:36,533
Smoothing any messy-looking
411
00:14:36,533 --> 00:14:40,067
Bubbles or buckles.
412
00:14:40,067 --> 00:14:44,633
She removes the tape...
413
00:14:44,633 --> 00:14:46,933
Then lifts the pre-mask very
414
00:14:46,933 --> 00:14:48,867
Carefully so as not to lift any
415
00:14:48,867 --> 00:14:51,367
Of the decals in the process.
416
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,300
With all the lettering now in
417
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,200
Place, the numbers on the board
418
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,333
Will mean something to the
419
00:14:56,333 --> 00:14:57,833
Crowds in the stands.
420
00:14:57,833 --> 00:14:59,900
They equip the scoreboard with a
421
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:02,067
Speaker and horn that will sound
422
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:05,167
Off in the event of a touchdown.
423
00:15:05,167 --> 00:15:07,167
And no need to run cable from
424
00:15:07,167 --> 00:15:08,833
The scoreboard to the keyboard.
425
00:15:08,833 --> 00:15:10,200
It is operated by remote
426
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,800
Control.
427
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,767
Using that system, a worker now
428
00:15:12,767 --> 00:15:14,667
Tests all the functions of the
429
00:15:14,667 --> 00:15:16,267
Scoreboard.
430
00:15:16,267 --> 00:15:18,067
This test is thorough and takes
431
00:15:18,067 --> 00:15:19,367
About 20 minutes.
432
00:15:19,367 --> 00:15:21,100
When it is done, he declares
433
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,400
The scoreboard ready for game
434
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,733
Action.
435
00:15:24,733 --> 00:15:26,433
Today's sports scoreboards come
436
00:15:26,433 --> 00:15:27,867
In any shape or design the
437
00:15:27,867 --> 00:15:31,067
Customer desires.
438
00:15:31,067 --> 00:15:32,533
When it comes to drumming up
439
00:15:32,533 --> 00:15:34,167
A little team spirit, a modern
440
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:35,300
Scoreboard can be a
441
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:37,700
Game-changer.
442
00:15:49,633 --> 00:15:51,267
>> narrator: a lasso, also
443
00:15:51,267 --> 00:15:53,067
Called a lariat, is a classic
444
00:15:53,067 --> 00:15:54,467
Cowboy tool designed for
445
00:15:54,467 --> 00:15:56,400
Catching running cattle.
446
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,867
On one end, there is a moving
447
00:15:57,867 --> 00:15:59,133
Noose you throw over the
448
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:00,700
Animal's head.
449
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:02,667
This loop tightens around the
450
00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:04,633
Neck or horns safely stopping
451
00:16:04,633 --> 00:16:11,133
The animal in its tracks.
452
00:16:11,133 --> 00:16:13,167
Working a lasso requires
453
00:16:13,167 --> 00:16:14,833
Tremendous skill...
454
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:17,067
So much so that rodeos typically
455
00:16:17,067 --> 00:16:19,200
Hold roping contests and feature
456
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,900
Performances of jaw-dropping
457
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,167
Maneuvers.
458
00:16:22,167 --> 00:16:23,967
The ropemaker starts by looping
459
00:16:23,967 --> 00:16:25,833
Five nylon threads around a
460
00:16:25,833 --> 00:16:27,600
Bushing mounted on a traveling
461
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,333
Box.
462
00:16:28,333 --> 00:16:30,633
He ties the end onto the first
463
00:16:30,633 --> 00:16:32,567
Of three spinning eyes...
464
00:16:32,567 --> 00:16:34,067
Then runs the five threads
465
00:16:34,067 --> 00:16:34,933
Around the bushing and the
466
00:16:34,933 --> 00:16:36,800
Second spinning eye, then back
467
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,267
To the bushing.
468
00:16:38,267 --> 00:16:40,067
He then hops on his cart and
469
00:16:40,067 --> 00:16:41,733
Drives the traveling box to
470
00:16:41,733 --> 00:16:43,600
Another traveling box, pulling
471
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,433
The threads for this lasso to
472
00:16:45,433 --> 00:16:48,767
A length of 15 yards.
473
00:16:48,767 --> 00:16:50,633
He transfers the threads from
474
00:16:50,633 --> 00:16:52,667
The bushing to a spinning eye on
475
00:16:52,667 --> 00:16:54,367
This second traveling box...
476
00:16:54,367 --> 00:16:56,200
Then pulls the threads back to
477
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,100
Make the other half of the rope.
478
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,733
When he arrives at the starting
479
00:17:01,733 --> 00:17:03,200
Point, he loops the threads
480
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,667
Through a third spinning eye.
481
00:17:05,667 --> 00:17:07,367
Then he pulls all the threads
482
00:17:07,367 --> 00:17:09,200
To equal tension, cuts them from
483
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,500
Their spools, and ties them off.
484
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:13,167
This completes what's known
485
00:17:13,167 --> 00:17:16,067
As the stringing process.
486
00:17:16,067 --> 00:17:19,167
Next comes the twisting process.
487
00:17:19,167 --> 00:17:20,967
A motor turns the three spinning
488
00:17:20,967 --> 00:17:22,667
Eyes, twisting the 10 threads
489
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,067
On each one into a strand and
490
00:17:25,067 --> 00:17:26,800
The three strands together into
491
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,367
A lasso rope that's around
492
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:31,100
2/10th's of an inch in diameter.
493
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,200
The twisting force pulls the
494
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,667
Two boxes toward each other.
495
00:17:35,667 --> 00:17:37,133
The ropemaker puts a certain
496
00:17:37,133 --> 00:17:39,133
Amount of weight in each box.
497
00:17:39,133 --> 00:17:40,700
That determines the stiffness
498
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:42,200
Of the rope, which can range
499
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,933
From extra soft to medium hard.
500
00:17:45,933 --> 00:17:47,667
A rope this length takes about
501
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:50,667
Five minutes to twist.
502
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:53,067
The ropemaker now wraps the end
503
00:17:53,067 --> 00:17:54,833
With electrical tape so that the
504
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:56,300
Rope won't unravel when he cuts
505
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:58,967
It loose.
506
00:17:58,967 --> 00:18:00,733
He pulls the rope at the center
507
00:18:00,733 --> 00:18:03,800
To release some tension...
508
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Then just beyond the taped end
509
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,067
Snips the strands free.
510
00:18:10,067 --> 00:18:12,133
He knots them, then trims the
511
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:14,067
Ends with a hot blade that
512
00:18:14,067 --> 00:18:15,800
Slices the nylon threads
513
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,300
By melting them.
514
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:21,667
He lays the rope in piping-hot
515
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:22,900
Wax.
516
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:24,500
It seeps into the nooks and
517
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,333
Crannies, permeating the threads
518
00:18:26,333 --> 00:18:29,900
Deep inside, setting the twist.
519
00:18:36,167 --> 00:18:38,067
After suspending the rope for a
520
00:18:38,067 --> 00:18:39,933
While to let the excess wax drip
521
00:18:39,933 --> 00:18:42,100
Off, he connects it to a pulling
522
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,600
Mechanism inside a heated room,
523
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Or, in summertime, outdoors
524
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,800
Under the hot sun.
525
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,533
Stretching for a couple of days
526
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:52,367
Pulls out any waves, ensuring
527
00:18:52,367 --> 00:18:53,867
The rope lies perfectly
528
00:18:53,867 --> 00:18:56,533
Straight.
529
00:18:56,533 --> 00:18:58,500
Next, he cuts off the knot and
530
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:00,667
Unravels just enough rope to tie
531
00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:02,400
A knot for what's called a
532
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,300
Hondo.
533
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:05,967
That's the eye in the rope which
534
00:19:05,967 --> 00:19:07,467
Lets him build the loop that
535
00:19:07,467 --> 00:19:09,300
Catches the animal.
536
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:10,867
On the other end, he ties a
537
00:19:10,867 --> 00:19:12,433
Different type of knot, one
538
00:19:12,433 --> 00:19:13,833
Which will keep the rope
539
00:19:13,833 --> 00:19:17,667
From unraveling.
540
00:19:17,667 --> 00:19:20,167
Using pliers and a vice, he
541
00:19:20,167 --> 00:19:23,667
Pulls both knots tight...
542
00:19:23,667 --> 00:19:26,100
Slices off excess with the hot
543
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:29,800
Blade of the rope cutter...
544
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,300
Then burns the ends with a
545
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:37,800
Propane torch to seal them.
546
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Now, he ties the hondo.
547
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,700
The hondo slides along the rope,
548
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,400
Loosening and tightening the
549
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,133
Loop.
550
00:19:50,133 --> 00:19:52,067
He hangs the hondo on a hook
551
00:19:52,067 --> 00:19:53,567
And, using a specially designed
552
00:19:53,567 --> 00:19:59,733
Wheel, pulls it tight.
553
00:19:59,733 --> 00:20:02,033
Then he sews a piece of rawhide
554
00:20:02,033 --> 00:20:03,967
Into the eye of the hondo.
555
00:20:03,967 --> 00:20:05,500
This piece of leather is called
556
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:06,067
The burner.
557
00:20:06,067 --> 00:20:07,933
It prevents the eye from burning
558
00:20:07,933 --> 00:20:09,767
Through, meaning wearing out,
559
00:20:09,767 --> 00:20:14,467
As the rope slides through it.
560
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,433
He bangs it with a hammer to
561
00:20:20,433 --> 00:20:24,600
Seat it in the rope grooves...
562
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,400
Then stamps the company name
563
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,267
On it and marks the rope's
564
00:20:28,267 --> 00:20:31,267
Stiffness.
565
00:20:31,267 --> 00:20:33,200
Lassos come in various degrees
566
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,933
Of stiffness for different types
567
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:37,600
Of animals and purposes, such as
568
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,833
Roping cattle by the head or by
569
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:42,267
The heels.
