Narrator:
Today on "How it's made"...
4
00:00:25,758 --> 00:00:28,000
Fish rubbings.
5
00:00:32,103 --> 00:00:34,000
Clay shooting machines.
6
00:00:38,344 --> 00:00:39,931
Almonds.
7
00:00:44,103 --> 00:00:45,793
And high-end motorcycles.
8
00:00:53,275 --> 00:00:56,862
Fishermen like to exaggerate
About the size of their catches.
9
00:00:56,862 --> 00:00:58,862
In 19th century japan,
10
00:00:58,862 --> 00:01:02,344
Fish rubbings were used
For actual documentation.
11
00:01:02,344 --> 00:01:05,344
Fishermen coated the fish
With non-toxic ink
12
00:01:05,344 --> 00:01:08,000
And rubbed it on paper
To transfer the image.
13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,310
They called this form
Of record-keeping gyotaku.
14
00:01:14,275 --> 00:01:16,724
Over time, the practice
Of fish rubbings
15
00:01:16,724 --> 00:01:19,344
Has evolved into an art form.
16
00:01:19,344 --> 00:01:24,551
Why paint a picture when you can
Print one using the real thing?
17
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:29,689
The artist traces the outline
Of the fish onto a foam block.
18
00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:34,413
Following that outline, he cuts
Out a fish-shaped cavity.
19
00:01:34,413 --> 00:01:36,379
He sets the fish in the cavity.
20
00:01:36,379 --> 00:01:38,000
The foam will keep
The fish level
21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,655
And stable during printing.
22
00:01:41,655 --> 00:01:43,931
He tucks paper wadding
Into the mouth
23
00:01:43,931 --> 00:01:46,862
To keep it open for
A more interesting print.
24
00:01:48,896 --> 00:01:51,344
He also inserts wadding
Under the gill flaps
25
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:55,724
To impede the flow
Of fluids from the fish.
26
00:01:55,724 --> 00:01:58,034
He props up the fins with pins
27
00:01:58,034 --> 00:02:02,344
And leaves them to dry overnight
In this elevated position.
28
00:02:02,344 --> 00:02:06,931
This will give the rubbed image
The illusion of action.
29
00:02:06,931 --> 00:02:09,827
He wraps cosmetic sponges
Around wine corks
30
00:02:09,827 --> 00:02:12,103
And tapes them at the base.
31
00:02:12,103 --> 00:02:14,068
These improvised ink applicators
32
00:02:14,068 --> 00:02:18,103
Will eventually provide a smooth
Finish with no brush strokes.
33
00:02:18,103 --> 00:02:22,758
He makes one for each color,
Plus a few extra for blending.
34
00:02:22,758 --> 00:02:24,724
Next, he selects
Different ink colors
35
00:02:24,724 --> 00:02:27,310
To create a bluish green shade
36
00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:30,172
That's close to the one
On the bluegill.
37
00:02:30,172 --> 00:02:33,310
He adds poppyseed oil
To thin the inks a bit
38
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:35,413
And blends it all
With a palette knife.
39
00:02:37,758 --> 00:02:42,206
With the fins now dry and stiff,
He removes the pins.
40
00:02:42,206 --> 00:02:44,448
With a metal probe,
He pulls up a fin
41
00:02:44,448 --> 00:02:47,758
That hadn't been raised earlier.
42
00:02:47,758 --> 00:02:50,758
He places a paper towel
Between the foam support block
43
00:02:50,758 --> 00:02:53,275
And the fish.
44
00:02:55,827 --> 00:02:58,241
He pats a greenish
Black color onto the gills
45
00:02:58,241 --> 00:03:00,931
And tail using a foam brush.
46
00:03:00,931 --> 00:03:04,137
This process leaves some smears
On the paper towel,
47
00:03:04,137 --> 00:03:06,724
But that's what it's there for.
48
00:03:06,724 --> 00:03:09,413
Switching to one of
The improvised applicators,
49
00:03:09,413 --> 00:03:11,586
He applies the bluish green ink
50
00:03:11,586 --> 00:03:15,551
To the upper part
Of the fish's body.
51
00:03:15,551 --> 00:03:18,793
He dabs a yellow color
Onto the belly of the fish.
52
00:03:21,965 --> 00:03:23,827
He adds a bit of red
To the chest
53
00:03:23,827 --> 00:03:25,724
Because during spawning,
54
00:03:25,724 --> 00:03:27,689
It usually turns this color.
55
00:03:29,758 --> 00:03:31,965
He places a piece of paper
Under a fin
56
00:03:31,965 --> 00:03:35,655
As he coats it with green ink.
57
00:03:35,655 --> 00:03:37,724
Then he removes the paper towel
58
00:03:37,724 --> 00:03:40,586
That has protected the foam
Support block from smudges
59
00:03:40,586 --> 00:03:44,965
And places the fish
Back in the cavity.
60
00:03:44,965 --> 00:03:48,517
He lightly sprays a sheet
Of rice paper with water.
61
00:03:48,517 --> 00:03:50,413
This makes it easier
To manipulate,
62
00:03:50,413 --> 00:03:53,896
As he drapes the damp paper
Onto the inked fish.
63
00:03:56,793 --> 00:04:01,448
He rubs the paper onto the inked
Fish to transfer the image.
64
00:04:01,448 --> 00:04:05,655
This takes skill
And the right touch.
65
00:04:05,655 --> 00:04:07,000
Once he's finished,
66
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,448
The artist peels
The paper away from the fish
67
00:04:09,448 --> 00:04:12,724
And examines the rubbing.
68
00:04:12,724 --> 00:04:14,413
After the ink has dried,
69
00:04:14,413 --> 00:04:16,517
He lightly sprays
The rubbing with water
70
00:04:16,517 --> 00:04:18,724
And then a water-based dye.
71
00:04:18,724 --> 00:04:21,068
The dye provides
Background color
72
00:04:21,068 --> 00:04:23,896
But doesn't affect
The oil-based ink guard.
73
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:30,655
He brushes wheat paste onto
A second piece of rice paper.
74
00:04:30,655 --> 00:04:33,620
This paper will serve as
An extra layer of reinforcement
75
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,068
For the fish rubbing.
76
00:04:38,689 --> 00:04:42,586
He wets the rubbing thoroughly.
77
00:04:42,586 --> 00:04:46,344
An assistant slowly lowers
The wet print onto the paper
78
00:04:46,344 --> 00:04:48,896
As the artist
Smoothes the rubbing,
79
00:04:48,896 --> 00:04:53,655
Ensuring there are
No wrinkles as it adheres.
80
00:04:53,655 --> 00:04:56,896
The image of the fish's eye
Doesn't transfer during rubbing,
81
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:58,655
So he paints one.
82
00:04:58,655 --> 00:05:01,551
He defines the pupil
With black watercolor
83
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:03,965
And paints the iris yellow.
84
00:05:03,965 --> 00:05:08,793
The painted eye adds a soulful
Expression to the print.
85
00:05:08,793 --> 00:05:11,068
The fish rubbing is
Now ready to be mounted
86
00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:15,758
To a more rigid paper backing
For extra support.
87
00:05:15,758 --> 00:05:19,034
He trims the borders, ensuring
That they're symmetrical
88
00:05:19,034 --> 00:05:20,620
And the correct measurements.
89
00:05:22,896 --> 00:05:25,482
He then tapes the fish rubbing
To the mounting board
90
00:05:25,482 --> 00:05:27,689
And signs it.
91
00:05:27,689 --> 00:05:31,344
With numerous and extensive
Dryings between steps,
92
00:05:31,344 --> 00:05:34,862
It has taken several weeks
To produce this fish rubbing.
93
00:05:45,586 --> 00:05:49,172
Narrator: clay shooting machines
Launch the flying targets
94
00:05:49,172 --> 00:05:51,758
Used in the sport of
Clay pigeon shooting.
95
00:05:51,758 --> 00:05:54,724
The saucer-shaped targets
Are called clay pigeons
96
00:05:54,724 --> 00:05:58,965
Because they replace the
Original targets, live pigeons.
97
00:05:58,965 --> 00:06:01,172
Shooting machines
Can launch the targets
98
00:06:01,172 --> 00:06:05,413
At various intervals,
Angles and velocities.
99
00:06:06,862 --> 00:06:08,068
This company has been building
100
00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:11,689
Clay shooting machines
Since 1927.
101
00:06:11,689 --> 00:06:14,758
Older models like this
One were heavy steel clunkers
102
00:06:14,758 --> 00:06:16,551
That ran on high voltage,
103
00:06:16,551 --> 00:06:21,517
Were difficult to move around
And weren't terribly precise.
104
00:06:21,517 --> 00:06:25,551
Today's machines weigh
From just 88 to 220 pounds.
105
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:27,896
Not only are
They easily portable,
106
00:06:27,896 --> 00:06:29,724
They run on just 12 volts
107
00:06:29,724 --> 00:06:33,413
And perform
With great precision.
108
00:06:33,413 --> 00:06:38,241
The machine's sturdy base
Is constructed from thick steel.
109
00:06:38,241 --> 00:06:41,310
Its parts were cut
By a computer-guided laser
110
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:43,620
Then welded together.
111
00:06:46,517 --> 00:06:48,517
The base design
Enables the machine
112
00:06:48,517 --> 00:06:52,379
To move both laterally
And vertically.
113
00:06:52,379 --> 00:06:55,103
The first component the
Worker attaches to the base
114
00:06:55,103 --> 00:06:56,482
Is the frame.
115
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:59,413
Made of durable epoxy-coated
Cast aluminum,
116
00:06:59,413 --> 00:07:03,379
It supports all
The machine's key components.
117
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:06,482
One of them, the main shaft
Assembly for the throwing arm,
118
00:07:06,482 --> 00:07:08,172
Is already installed.
119
00:07:11,482 --> 00:07:13,689
A technician connects
The frame to the base
120
00:07:13,689 --> 00:07:15,379
With heavy-duty bolts.
121
00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:23,310
This slot in the frame allows
The machine to tilt vertically,
122
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:25,344
Up to 65 degrees.
123
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:31,482
He attaches a steel extension
For the throwing plate
124
00:07:31,482 --> 00:07:35,379
Across which the throwing arm
Moves the clay pigeon.
125
00:07:35,379 --> 00:07:37,206
This extension
Enables an optimal
126
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:40,413
Positioning
Of the throwing plate.
127
00:07:40,413 --> 00:07:42,379
Before installing
The throwing plate,
128
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:45,724
He installs the indexing
Shaft assembly.
129
00:07:45,724 --> 00:07:47,551
The indexing shaft is the finger
130
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:49,620
That moves the carousel forward
131
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:52,379
One column at a time.
132
00:07:52,379 --> 00:07:54,931
He mounts the steel
Throwing plate.
133
00:07:54,931 --> 00:07:58,137
It has three steel springs
On its underside.
134
00:07:58,137 --> 00:07:59,413
One goes over the bolt,
135
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:02,689
Attaching it to the far end
Of the extension.
136
00:08:02,689 --> 00:08:06,517
The other two go over the bolt,
Attaching it to the frame.
137
00:08:06,517 --> 00:08:09,827
These springs keep the arm
Parallel to the throwing plate.
138
00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:16,448
Next, he screws the throwing arm
To the main shaft assembly.
139
00:08:23,206 --> 00:08:26,241
He checks the gap
Between the arm and plate
140
00:08:26,241 --> 00:08:29,448
To make sure the arm makes
Contact with the clay pigeon
141
00:08:29,448 --> 00:08:31,931
At just the right level.
142
00:08:34,482 --> 00:08:38,068
If the alignment's off, he
Adjusts the height of the plate.
143
00:08:42,206 --> 00:08:45,000
Then he manually turns
The main shaft
144
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,862
To make sure the throwing arm
Rotates smoothly.
145
00:08:50,344 --> 00:08:53,137
The machine runs on
A powerful electric motor
146
00:08:53,137 --> 00:08:55,482
That has an integrated
Gear train.
147
00:09:02,413 --> 00:09:05,103
The technician installs
The motor on the frame
148
00:09:05,103 --> 00:09:08,517
Beneath the main shaft assembly.
149
00:09:08,517 --> 00:09:11,620
Next, he attaches
The steel arming spring
150
00:09:11,620 --> 00:09:15,931
Which can withstand up
To 440 pounds of pull force.
151
00:09:15,931 --> 00:09:18,620
Its sudden release
Generates the propulsion
152
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:20,000
To launch the clay pigeon
153
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,379
Of a flying speed of more
Than 62 miles per hour.
154
00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:27,931
He mounts the support base
For the carousel
155
00:09:27,931 --> 00:09:29,931
That holds the clay pigeons,
156
00:09:29,931 --> 00:09:33,758
Then he screws the arming spring
To the main shaft assembly.
157
00:09:33,758 --> 00:09:36,172
As the shaft swings
Back and forth,
158
00:09:36,172 --> 00:09:39,448
It stretches and
Releases the spring.
159
00:09:39,448 --> 00:09:41,620
He links
The indexing shaft assembly
160
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:43,379
To the motor's gear shaft.
161
00:09:46,413 --> 00:09:49,310
He installs the carousel,
Made of cast aluminum,
162
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:51,241
On the support base.
163
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:57,965
This model has a different
Type of motor design
164
00:09:57,965 --> 00:10:00,517
That enables the base
To pivot automatically,
165
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:04,482
Launching random trajectories.
166
00:10:04,482 --> 00:10:08,827
This patented system increases
The carousel's capacity.
167
00:10:08,827 --> 00:10:10,827
By clicking retractable
Extensions
168
00:10:10,827 --> 00:10:13,413
Onto the rods
That separate the columns,
169
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,310
The operator
Can stack 50 percent
170
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:18,206
More clay pigeons
In the carousel.
171
00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:20,931
When the operator presses
A button on the remote control,
172
00:10:20,931 --> 00:10:23,482
The throwing arm
Rotation begins.
173
00:10:23,482 --> 00:10:26,103
When the arm passes
A specific point,
174
00:10:26,103 --> 00:10:30,172
The stretched arming spring
Releases, launching the pigeon.
175
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:32,586
As the arm continues
Its rotation,
176
00:10:32,586 --> 00:10:36,068
The linked indexing shaft
Moves the carousel forward,
177
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:39,379
Dropping a new clay pigeon
Onto the throwing plate.
178
00:10:39,379 --> 00:10:43,586
When the arm comes full circle,
Re-stretching the arming spring,
179
00:10:43,586 --> 00:10:45,724
A sensor cuts power to the motor
180
00:10:45,724 --> 00:10:48,034
Until the next press
Of the button.
181
00:10:48,034 --> 00:10:51,517
This entire cycle
Takes just 2 seconds.
182
00:11:00,275 --> 00:11:04,103
Narrator: almond consumption
Dates back to biblical times.
183
00:11:04,103 --> 00:11:06,551
They're even mentioned
In the old testament.
184
00:11:06,551 --> 00:11:08,275
Around 100 a.D.,
185
00:11:08,275 --> 00:11:11,275
The ancient romans showered
Newlyweds with almonds.
186
00:11:11,275 --> 00:11:14,655
This ritual came from the belief
That they increased fertility.
187
00:11:14,655 --> 00:11:17,344
But today, it's the nutritional
Value of almonds
188
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:20,068
That keeps us
Coming back for more.
189
00:11:23,034 --> 00:11:25,758
Almonds are a guilt-free snack.
190
00:11:25,758 --> 00:11:30,517
They're full of vitamins,
Minerals and protein.
191
00:11:30,517 --> 00:11:32,034
More than 80 percent
Of the world's
192
00:11:32,034 --> 00:11:34,000
Almonds come from california
193
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,068
Where growing conditions
Are ideal.
194
00:11:37,068 --> 00:11:39,655
Upon arrival at
A processing facility,
195
00:11:39,655 --> 00:11:43,103
The almonds are still
Encased in leathery hulls.
196
00:11:43,103 --> 00:11:47,068
They flow through equipment
That combs out debris.
197
00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:51,172
The next machine, called
A destoner, targets any rocks.
198
00:11:51,172 --> 00:11:53,103
Air blows through it
To separate the lighter
199
00:11:53,103 --> 00:11:56,034
Almonds from the stones.
200
00:11:56,034 --> 00:11:59,310
The almonds travel between
A rubber roller and belt.
201
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:03,551
This spins off the hulls
And releases the almonds.
202
00:12:03,551 --> 00:12:08,551
The operator periodically
Examines the de-hulled almonds.
203
00:12:08,551 --> 00:12:13,586
Vibrating decks with slots
Sort the almonds by size.
204
00:12:13,586 --> 00:12:18,586
The system also shakes off
Hull material and vacuums it up.
205
00:12:18,586 --> 00:12:22,724
The almonds head to a gravity
Table for finer separation.
206
00:12:22,724 --> 00:12:26,413
The spent hulls and other
Material float to one side
207
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:30,172
While heavier contaminants
Float to the other.
208
00:12:30,172 --> 00:12:33,620
The in-shell almonds
Tumble down channels.
209
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:36,448
Cameras examine the shells
For imperfections
210
00:12:36,448 --> 00:12:38,379
And look for contaminants,
211
00:12:38,379 --> 00:12:42,586
Then a blast of compressed air
Knocks them out of the flow.
212
00:12:42,586 --> 00:12:44,000
These are some
Of the contaminants
213
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,965
That have been removed.
214
00:12:46,965 --> 00:12:50,965
At another facility, machinery
Will now grade the almonds
215
00:12:50,965 --> 00:12:55,068
According to the condition
Of their shells.
216
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:58,275
Once again, the almonds
Fall through the open air,
217
00:12:58,275 --> 00:13:01,655
And a computerized camera
Scans them for broken shells
218
00:13:01,655 --> 00:13:03,379
And other flaws.
219
00:13:06,172 --> 00:13:09,034
A compressed air gun
Then knocks the flawed almonds
220
00:13:09,034 --> 00:13:11,793
Out of the mix.
221
00:13:11,793 --> 00:13:15,172
The almonds bounce
Along a vibrating grid
222
00:13:15,172 --> 00:13:20,137
And any kernels or missed
Shell fragments fall through.
223
00:13:20,137 --> 00:13:22,551
Finally, people sort
Through the almonds
224
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:26,241
And reject any that
Don't have perfect shells.
225
00:13:26,241 --> 00:13:28,310
They also toss out
Any contaminants
226
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:32,000
The mechanized
Sorting system missed.
227
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,137
Some buyers will pay
A premium for the best nuts.
228
00:13:38,103 --> 00:13:41,551
The almonds with broken shells
Will have the shells removed.
229
00:13:44,103 --> 00:13:48,034
These raw almonds
Are also sorted by size.
230
00:13:48,034 --> 00:13:51,551
They flow onto
A vibrating conveyor.
231
00:13:51,551 --> 00:13:54,620
Further along,
The conveyor has holes.
232
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:58,724
The smaller almonds fall through
These holes and into bins.
233
00:13:58,724 --> 00:14:01,413
The larger almonds
Continue forward.
234
00:14:01,413 --> 00:14:03,517
These larger kernels
Are worth more
235
00:14:03,517 --> 00:14:06,482
And will be sold separately
From the smaller ones.
236
00:14:09,172 --> 00:14:14,103
As with the in-shell almonds,
Good looks are important.
237
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:17,275
A camera photographs
The cascading almond kernels,
238
00:14:17,275 --> 00:14:19,862
And a computer scans the images.
239
00:14:19,862 --> 00:14:22,275
The system knocks
The less-than-perfect almonds
240
00:14:22,275 --> 00:14:24,344
Out of the production stream.
241
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,310
Next, the almonds
Head towards a robot.
242
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:32,827
Along the way, another camera
Sends the images
243
00:14:32,827 --> 00:14:35,551
To a computer scanner.
244
00:14:35,551 --> 00:14:38,000
This one has been
Programmed to find chips,
245
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Scratches and even
Small broken bits.
246
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,724
The computer sends
The coordinates
247
00:14:44,724 --> 00:14:47,551
Of the damaged almonds
To the robot.
248
00:14:47,551 --> 00:14:52,137
The robot then finds them
And plucks them out of the mix.
249
00:14:52,137 --> 00:14:55,862
A human inspector now
Picks out any imperfect almonds
250
00:14:55,862 --> 00:14:59,034
That the robotic system missed.
251
00:14:59,034 --> 00:15:01,413
Their flaws
Are just superficial.
252
00:15:01,413 --> 00:15:03,103
They still taste the same,
253
00:15:03,103 --> 00:15:06,275
So these almonds will be
Processed into chocolate bars,
254
00:15:06,275 --> 00:15:11,137
Almond butter or milk,
Baked goods and cereals.
255
00:15:11,137 --> 00:15:14,206
The perfect almond kernels
Travel forward.
256
00:15:16,034 --> 00:15:19,137
Just ahead, machinery
Moves cardboard boxes
257
00:15:19,137 --> 00:15:22,586
Into an open position
On a packaging carousel.
258
00:15:22,586 --> 00:15:25,275
Sprayers apply glue
To the bottom flaps,
259
00:15:25,275 --> 00:15:30,103
And pushers close them,
Sealing the boxes.
260
00:15:30,103 --> 00:15:32,413
The almonds now arrive
At a scale.
261
00:15:32,413 --> 00:15:34,206
It releases them into the boxes
262
00:15:34,206 --> 00:15:37,000
In approximately
50-pound batches.
263
00:15:39,862 --> 00:15:43,206
These big boxes of almonds will
Be shipped to other facilities
264
00:15:43,206 --> 00:15:46,689
To be processed
Into other products.
265
00:15:46,689 --> 00:15:50,068
Smaller amounts will be
Packaged for consumer use.
266
00:15:52,103 --> 00:15:55,758
A snack anyone can crack
Or enjoy pre-cracked,
267
00:15:55,758 --> 00:15:58,793
Almonds are a natural
And nutritious choice.
268
00:15:58,793 --> 00:16:02,413
No wonder they're consumed
By the handful.
269
00:16:15,034 --> 00:16:16,862
Narrator:
During the great depression,
270
00:16:16,862 --> 00:16:20,137
Motorcycles were an inexpensive
Transportation option.
271
00:16:20,137 --> 00:16:22,413
They were a cheaper way
To get around town.
272
00:16:22,413 --> 00:16:26,448
But these days, a motorcycle
Can be an expensive machine.
273
00:16:26,448 --> 00:16:29,758
Not for the penny-wise, high-end
Motorcycles are engineered
274
00:16:29,758 --> 00:16:33,724
And crafted for the rider
With discriminating tastes.
275
00:16:36,793 --> 00:16:40,068
This is not a standard
Mass-produced motorcycle.
276
00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:44,655
This performance cruiser takes
Things in a different direction.
277
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:47,827
The high-end design
Is executed with precision,
278
00:16:47,827 --> 00:16:52,344
With most parts machined
Specifically for this bike.
279
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:55,413
Production starts with
A conceptual layout.
280
00:16:55,413 --> 00:16:58,724
The designer draws
The motorcycle on a digital pad,
281
00:16:58,724 --> 00:17:02,206
Producing a blueprint for
The manufacturing process.
282
00:17:02,206 --> 00:17:05,034
The manufacturer uses
Aircraft-grade aluminum
283
00:17:05,034 --> 00:17:06,551
To make most of the parts.
284
00:17:06,551 --> 00:17:09,344
Computerized tools carve
The solid aluminum
285
00:17:09,344 --> 00:17:11,482
Into the desired shape.
286
00:17:11,482 --> 00:17:15,206
This part will be the
Motorcycle's belt drive cover.
287
00:17:15,206 --> 00:17:18,448
The carved patterns make it
More visually appealing,
288
00:17:18,448 --> 00:17:22,827
And they reduce
The cover's overall weight.
289
00:17:22,827 --> 00:17:26,965
The company builds the exhaust
System using stainless steel.
290
00:17:26,965 --> 00:17:30,000
A technician welds
The exhaust pipes together.
291
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
He then attaches
Several spring hangers
292
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,413
To the steel pipe assembly.
293
00:17:35,413 --> 00:17:38,758
The next part is
An ignition coil mount.
294
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:42,172
A ruby probe scans the part
To find the center.
295
00:17:42,172 --> 00:17:43,655
Once it's been located,
296
00:17:43,655 --> 00:17:46,034
A software-driven
Cutter descends,
297
00:17:46,034 --> 00:17:48,620
And etches brand information
And artwork
298
00:17:48,620 --> 00:17:52,448
Into the black
Anodized aluminum.
299
00:17:52,448 --> 00:17:56,896
This steel structure will serve
As the motorcycle's skeleton.
300
00:17:56,896 --> 00:17:59,551
The technician installs
The 100-horsepower,
301
00:17:59,551 --> 00:18:02,482
Fuel-injected v-twin engine.
302
00:18:02,482 --> 00:18:04,965
He then mounts the six-speed
Transmission system
303
00:18:04,965 --> 00:18:06,482
To the engine.
304
00:18:06,482 --> 00:18:08,551
It's equipped with
A high torque shaft
305
00:18:08,551 --> 00:18:13,758
That's shorter than usual
To make the system more compact.
306
00:18:13,758 --> 00:18:17,103
He bolts it in place.
307
00:18:17,103 --> 00:18:19,448
The steering stem has
A framework at the base
308
00:18:19,448 --> 00:18:23,482
With three openings
Known as the triple clamp.
309
00:18:23,482 --> 00:18:26,655
He slides the stem
Into the tube on the frame
310
00:18:26,655 --> 00:18:29,620
And screws a bearing
Onto the top.
311
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:31,068
He fastens it with a nut
312
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:35,034
That will keep
The bearing pressurized.
313
00:18:35,034 --> 00:18:36,862
He installs
A second triple clamp
314
00:18:36,862 --> 00:18:39,137
On the top of the assembly.
315
00:18:39,137 --> 00:18:42,482
The center hole
Fits onto the nut.
316
00:18:42,482 --> 00:18:44,896
He secures it with
A steering head nut.
317
00:18:48,034 --> 00:18:51,241
He inserts the suspension fork
Into the other two openings
318
00:18:51,241 --> 00:18:55,068
In the triple clamps
And makes some adjustments.
319
00:18:57,448 --> 00:19:03,103
He places a carbon-fiber wheel
Between the fork tubes.
320
00:19:03,103 --> 00:19:05,931
He installs the axle
That links the suspension
321
00:19:05,931 --> 00:19:07,586
To the front wheel hub
322
00:19:07,586 --> 00:19:11,482
And tightens the titanium nuts
On the axle for a better fit.
323
00:19:14,137 --> 00:19:16,827
Next, he connects
A six-piston brake system
324
00:19:16,827 --> 00:19:18,344
To the suspension fork
325
00:19:18,344 --> 00:19:21,137
And tightens the bolts
That hold it in place.
326
00:19:21,137 --> 00:19:24,862
This completes
The front wheel assembly.
327
00:19:24,862 --> 00:19:28,827
He now attaches the handlebars,
Complete with dashboard gauges,
328
00:19:28,827 --> 00:19:32,413
Controls and side-view mirrors.
329
00:19:32,413 --> 00:19:36,965
He makes the final connections
For the electronics.
330
00:19:36,965 --> 00:19:39,448
He encases the gauges
And wiring with a part
331
00:19:39,448 --> 00:19:42,448
Called the front cowling.
332
00:19:42,448 --> 00:19:44,793
The shape diverts air
Over the rider
333
00:19:44,793 --> 00:19:48,034
And away from his or her face.
334
00:19:48,034 --> 00:19:51,793
A two-piece gas tank
Will provide more capacity.
335
00:19:51,793 --> 00:19:54,862
The tanks have been carved
From a solid aluminum bar,
336
00:19:54,862 --> 00:19:58,689
A process that's
Taken over 60 hours.
337
00:19:58,689 --> 00:19:59,896
The tank on the right side
338
00:19:59,896 --> 00:20:01,827
Becomes part
Of the frame structure,
339
00:20:01,827 --> 00:20:03,793
Providing additional strength.
340
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:10,103
He loops belt drive pulleys
Around shafts to transfer power
341
00:20:10,103 --> 00:20:14,000
From the transmission
To the rear wheel.
342
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,517
The motorbike is now ready
For the belt drive cover
343
00:20:16,517 --> 00:20:18,620
We saw produced earlier.
344
00:20:20,482 --> 00:20:22,344
While protecting the belt drive,
345
00:20:22,344 --> 00:20:25,655
This cover also gives the
Motorbike a distinctive look.
346
00:20:27,862 --> 00:20:29,310
He mounts the left foot peg
347
00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:32,379
To the frame through a hole
In the pulley cover.
348
00:20:35,172 --> 00:20:39,586
This high-end motorcycle is now
Ready to hit the open road.
349
00:20:39,586 --> 00:20:42,137
Making it has taken 2 weeks.
350
00:20:42,137 --> 00:20:44,241
Preproduction fittings
With the client
351
00:20:44,241 --> 00:20:46,655
Have dictated the position
Of the foot pedals,
352
00:20:46,655 --> 00:20:48,793
Handlebars, and the seat.
353
00:20:48,793 --> 00:20:51,689
It's been tailor-made
For a precision ride.
354
00:20:53,931 --> 00:20:56,724
It costs more than many
Mid-range cars,
355
00:20:56,724 --> 00:21:00,172
But this high-end bike
Isn't for the budget crowd.
356
00:21:00,172 --> 00:21:03,517
It's for those who want
A one-of-a-kind ride.
