00:00:22,172 --> 00:00:25,551
Narrator:
Today on "How it's made"...
2
00:00:25,551 --> 00:00:27,068
Wooden bowls...
3
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:33,586
Chain saws...
4
00:00:38,689 --> 00:00:40,758
Stackable potato chips...
5
00:00:44,241 --> 00:00:46,655
And jet compressor blades.
6
00:00:52,586 --> 00:00:55,655
There was a time when bowl
Making was a cherished trade
7
00:00:55,655 --> 00:00:58,793
Passed down through generations
Of woodworkers.
8
00:00:58,793 --> 00:01:02,172
But today, with so much
Mass-produced tableware,
9
00:01:02,172 --> 00:01:05,620
Handcrafted wooden bowls
Have become a specialty item,
10
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:07,793
And this centuries-old
Traditional craft
11
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:10,206
Is practically a lost art.
12
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:17,241
Each of these exquisite bowls
Is made
13
00:01:17,241 --> 00:01:18,827
From a solid piece
Of hardwood --
14
00:01:18,827 --> 00:01:22,172
Beech, maple, walnut, or cherry.
15
00:01:22,172 --> 00:01:25,103
Logs arrive at the bowl mill
Fresh from the forest,
16
00:01:25,103 --> 00:01:29,068
So they're still very damp,
And that's an advantage
17
00:01:29,068 --> 00:01:32,103
Because the moisture lubricates
The cutting tools.
18
00:01:32,103 --> 00:01:35,379
The first step is to divide
The log into blocks
19
00:01:35,379 --> 00:01:36,586
With a chain-saw operator
20
00:01:36,586 --> 00:01:38,758
Measuring and inspecting
As he goes.
21
00:01:42,241 --> 00:01:44,310
Defects such as knots
Or scarring
22
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:46,206
Dictate the length
Of each block.
23
00:01:51,275 --> 00:01:55,000
Any cracks or other flaws
Are marked with a red crayon.
24
00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:06,034
Next, a rip-saw operator uses
Different-size bowl patterns
25
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:08,275
To determine the best way
To cut the block.
26
00:02:08,275 --> 00:02:11,551
The goal is to get the biggest
Bowl-size pieces possible
27
00:02:11,551 --> 00:02:14,000
Without including
Any defective wood.
28
00:02:21,413 --> 00:02:24,379
Each bowl-sized piece
Is called a bowl blank.
29
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:27,344
This block is large enough
To yield three blanks,
30
00:02:27,344 --> 00:02:30,310
Each of which will produce
A 17-inch bowl
31
00:02:30,310 --> 00:02:32,448
And a series of progressively
Smaller bowls
32
00:02:32,448 --> 00:02:34,275
That nest inside it.
33
00:02:44,379 --> 00:02:47,137
The blank is mounted
Onto a woodworking lathe.
34
00:02:47,137 --> 00:02:50,482
From this point on,
Production is entirely dependent
35
00:02:50,482 --> 00:02:54,413
On the lathe operator's skill.
36
00:02:54,413 --> 00:02:57,034
As the block spins,
He carves out the bowls
37
00:02:57,034 --> 00:02:59,275
Using a series
Of specialized knives
38
00:02:59,275 --> 00:03:02,344
Designed and forged
At this very mill.
39
00:03:02,344 --> 00:03:04,689
First he uses this curved knife
40
00:03:04,689 --> 00:03:07,206
To shear off the outer portion
Of wood.
41
00:03:07,206 --> 00:03:10,965
It takes great expertise to know
Exactly how to angle the tool
42
00:03:10,965 --> 00:03:13,413
And when to pull it out
And release the wood shavings
43
00:03:13,413 --> 00:03:15,379
And prevent a jam.
44
00:03:15,379 --> 00:03:17,724
After two or three minutes,
45
00:03:17,724 --> 00:03:20,758
The exterior bark shell
Has been sheared off.
46
00:03:22,655 --> 00:03:23,896
The bare wood that's left
47
00:03:23,896 --> 00:03:25,862
Represents the outside
Of the largest bowl
48
00:03:25,862 --> 00:03:27,862
That he'll mill from this blank.
49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,482
With a finer blade,
He sculpts the wood
50
00:03:32,482 --> 00:03:36,103
To just the right thickness
And smoothes the surface.
51
00:03:43,862 --> 00:03:46,137
Now he switches
To a smaller curved knife
52
00:03:46,137 --> 00:03:47,931
And cuts into the wood.
53
00:03:47,931 --> 00:03:50,413
This forms the inside
Of the largest bowl
54
00:03:50,413 --> 00:03:53,275
And the outside
Of the next smaller one.
55
00:03:56,827 --> 00:04:00,000
The lathe worker repeats the
Smoothing and cutting process
56
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,103
With progressively
Smaller knives,
57
00:04:02,103 --> 00:04:07,241
Making bowl after bowl
At a rate of about one a minute.
58
00:04:07,241 --> 00:04:10,344
This one bowl blank produces
Four nested bowls,
59
00:04:10,344 --> 00:04:13,793
The smallest measuring
About nine inches in diameter.
60
00:04:16,827 --> 00:04:20,896
The bowls are steamed for about
Four hours to draw out the sap
61
00:04:20,896 --> 00:04:23,241
And hydrate the pores
Of the wood uniformly.
62
00:04:27,758 --> 00:04:31,000
Once a bowl is dry --
About a month later --
63
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,931
Workers even out the top rim
On a sanding table.
64
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:38,965
Then, using a belt sander,
65
00:04:38,965 --> 00:04:42,275
They smooth the outside
And inside surfaces.
66
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,068
A motorized saw shaves off
The bottom of the bowl,
67
00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:08,275
Giving it a flat base
On which to sit
68
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:11,517
And a place to inscribe
The company name.
69
00:05:13,379 --> 00:05:16,068
Businesses can order
Custom-made bowls
70
00:05:16,068 --> 00:05:17,551
Featuring their company logo.
71
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:21,482
Artists burn the design
Into the wood or paint it on.
72
00:05:27,793 --> 00:05:31,275
The bowls now go for a bath
In food-safe mineral oil.
73
00:05:31,275 --> 00:05:34,862
This nourishes the wood,
Preventing dryness and cracks.
74
00:05:34,862 --> 00:05:37,172
Oiling also brings out
75
00:05:37,172 --> 00:05:39,068
The natural beauty
Of the wood grain,
76
00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:41,310
And because all raw wood
Is unique,
77
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:44,275
No two bowls are ever alike.
78
00:05:51,379 --> 00:05:52,586
Up next...
79
00:05:52,586 --> 00:05:55,586
High-tech production
At a chain-saw factory.
80
00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:02,655
Narrator: it's loud,
It's powerful,
81
00:06:02,655 --> 00:06:04,310
And it rules the forest.
82
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:07,275
The chain saw has revolutionized
The logging industry
83
00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:11,482
By replacing simple muscle power
With mechanical might.
84
00:06:24,689 --> 00:06:26,689
The chain saw can fell a tree
85
00:06:26,689 --> 00:06:30,206
And quickly turn logs
Into lumber.
86
00:06:30,206 --> 00:06:34,206
Production begins
With the plastic housing.
87
00:06:34,206 --> 00:06:36,965
Three aluminum inserts
Must be molded into the housing
88
00:06:36,965 --> 00:06:40,068
To provide solid anchors
For other parts.
89
00:06:41,206 --> 00:06:44,344
A robot picks up the inserts
One at a time
90
00:06:44,344 --> 00:06:47,310
And delivers them
To an injection molding machine.
91
00:06:55,413 --> 00:06:58,068
Then it places the inserts
Into a mold
92
00:06:58,068 --> 00:07:00,172
At the front of the machine.
93
00:07:06,379 --> 00:07:09,655
The machine injects
Melted plastic into the mold
94
00:07:09,655 --> 00:07:12,103
To make the chain saw's
Engine cover.
95
00:07:12,103 --> 00:07:14,000
During the molding process,
96
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,551
The metal inserts become
Integrated into the housing.
97
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:24,586
It takes just seconds to
Transform these plastic pellets
98
00:07:24,586 --> 00:07:26,586
Into a chain-saw engine cover.
99
00:07:32,965 --> 00:07:36,413
The robot carries each engine
Cover to an automated cutter
100
00:07:36,413 --> 00:07:39,413
That removes any unwanted bits
Of plastic.
101
00:07:47,482 --> 00:07:50,000
The scraps drop
Into a bin below.
102
00:07:54,482 --> 00:07:57,448
The hot covers cool
For about 10 minutes.
103
00:08:01,068 --> 00:08:03,965
Then the robot moves them
To the next station.
104
00:08:07,241 --> 00:08:09,931
There's one more piece
Of plastic housing --
105
00:08:09,931 --> 00:08:12,448
The fuel tank.
106
00:08:12,448 --> 00:08:15,137
The sonic welder melts and fuses
It to the engine cover
107
00:08:15,137 --> 00:08:17,862
Using high-frequency vibration.
108
00:08:23,448 --> 00:08:25,689
Now it's time to move on
To the engine
109
00:08:25,689 --> 00:08:28,103
And install a spring system
For the starter cord.
110
00:08:32,793 --> 00:08:36,655
The two-stroke engine
Slides into the plastic casing.
111
00:08:36,655 --> 00:08:39,758
And a spark plug
Is popped into place.
112
00:08:44,655 --> 00:08:46,965
After the crankshaft
Is lubricated,
113
00:08:46,965 --> 00:08:50,586
The chain saw's automatic
Oiling system is installed.
114
00:08:55,172 --> 00:08:57,965
The carburetor is attached,
115
00:08:57,965 --> 00:09:00,586
Along with
A pull-cord starter system.
116
00:09:02,655 --> 00:09:04,931
This saw gets an air filter.
117
00:09:06,448 --> 00:09:09,586
Then the chain bar's stud bolts
Are dipped in adhesive
118
00:09:09,586 --> 00:09:13,620
And screwed into the inserts
Molded into the plastic housing.
119
00:09:15,931 --> 00:09:18,172
The rear handle goes on...
120
00:09:20,034 --> 00:09:22,413
Along with
A safety-release trigger.
121
00:09:27,137 --> 00:09:30,896
The front handle
Is screwed into place.
122
00:09:30,896 --> 00:09:33,137
And the oil line
Gets a filter attachment
123
00:09:33,137 --> 00:09:35,034
That lubricates
The bar and chain.
124
00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:37,724
That will strain out
Any impurities.
125
00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:46,758
Next, workers install bearings
126
00:09:46,758 --> 00:09:48,310
And the crankshaft
Clutch system.
127
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:51,551
The clutch is the link between
The engine and chain.
128
00:09:51,551 --> 00:09:52,758
When it's engaged,
129
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:55,068
The chain will move
Around the cutting bar.
130
00:09:59,448 --> 00:10:02,620
The engine is now ready for a
Test run at typical speed --
131
00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:04,758
8,000 rpm.
132
00:10:10,896 --> 00:10:13,068
Technicians adjust
The carburetor
133
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:15,275
So that it mixes the right
Amount of gas and air
134
00:10:15,275 --> 00:10:17,000
And check the exhaust
To make sure
135
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,413
It doesn't exceed
Pollution standards.
136
00:10:20,413 --> 00:10:22,724
Workers attach
The company's logo
137
00:10:22,724 --> 00:10:25,275
And other
Operational information.
138
00:10:27,206 --> 00:10:30,206
Then the brake system
Goes into place.
139
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:40,586
Finally, the metal bar
And chain blade
140
00:10:40,586 --> 00:10:44,275
Are packed
In a protective sleeve.
141
00:10:44,275 --> 00:10:47,103
Once the saw's chain blade
Is installed,
142
00:10:47,103 --> 00:10:50,724
The owner has a power tool
With teeth for almost any job.
143
00:10:57,689 --> 00:10:59,275
When we return...
144
00:10:59,275 --> 00:11:01,655
Get the skinny
On stackable chips.
145
00:11:07,689 --> 00:11:09,137
Narrator: it's a snack
That's made to stack.
146
00:11:09,137 --> 00:11:12,275
Unlike other chips that come
In irregular shapes and sizes,
147
00:11:12,275 --> 00:11:14,758
These chips
Have a uniform concave shape
148
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:17,172
That allows them
To tightly interlock
149
00:11:17,172 --> 00:11:19,896
And fit neatly
In a tubular container.
150
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,068
The process
For making these tubes
151
00:11:32,068 --> 00:11:34,482
Starts with big rolls
Of plain brown paper
152
00:11:34,482 --> 00:11:37,931
And foil-backed paper
That help keep the chips fresh.
153
00:11:46,241 --> 00:11:48,724
The streams of paper
Travel across rollers
154
00:11:48,724 --> 00:11:50,413
That apply a coat of glue.
155
00:11:52,137 --> 00:11:54,482
The paper layers
Then twist around the mandrel
156
00:11:54,482 --> 00:11:56,275
That's turned by a big belt.
157
00:11:56,275 --> 00:12:00,482
The belt also presses
The glued layers together.
158
00:12:01,551 --> 00:12:04,620
Next, the label paper
Gets a coat of glue.
159
00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:07,758
This helps it stick to the paper
On the mandrel.
160
00:12:10,034 --> 00:12:13,724
A camera photographs the white
Edging on the label paper,
161
00:12:13,724 --> 00:12:17,241
Then relays its location
To a set of circular knives.
162
00:12:17,241 --> 00:12:20,758
They make a precise cut
Just below the white edging.
163
00:12:20,758 --> 00:12:23,931
Cued by the camera, the carriage
Then moves the knives
164
00:12:23,931 --> 00:12:25,931
Into position for the next cut.
165
00:12:30,965 --> 00:12:34,862
You the tubes then head into
A turning station...
166
00:12:34,862 --> 00:12:39,103
A box with a pathway inside that
Flips the tubes right side up.
167
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:46,103
Hot metal heads curl the tops
To accommodate lids.
168
00:12:54,551 --> 00:12:57,310
A roller pulls foil-backed paper
Into a cutter
169
00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:59,275
That punches out the lid shapes.
170
00:13:11,275 --> 00:13:15,000
Little vacuums take the lids to
The tubes and heat-seal them on.
171
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,827
Plastic lids
Go over the paper ones.
172
00:13:17,827 --> 00:13:20,137
The lidded tubes
Are now turned upside down,
173
00:13:20,137 --> 00:13:22,000
Ready to be stacked with chips.
174
00:13:24,448 --> 00:13:28,172
The chip recipe is 1/3 water
To 2/3 potato flakes
175
00:13:28,172 --> 00:13:30,310
With a little cornstarch
Mixed in.
176
00:13:37,241 --> 00:13:41,551
A conveyor delivers the mix to
An auger, which disperses it.
177
00:13:44,896 --> 00:13:48,034
Then it sets out
On the production line.
178
00:13:48,034 --> 00:13:50,137
Using four tons of pressure,
179
00:13:50,137 --> 00:13:53,344
The mix is rolled
Into one long potato sheet.
180
00:13:57,206 --> 00:14:00,517
A rotary cutter then punches out
Oval shapes.
181
00:14:06,586 --> 00:14:08,620
A device pulls away
The scrap dough,
182
00:14:08,620 --> 00:14:10,551
Leaving flat, uncooked chips.
183
00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:17,137
This scrap dough goes back into
The chip-making process,
184
00:14:17,137 --> 00:14:20,379
While the potato chips
Head for the fryer.
185
00:14:26,241 --> 00:14:28,103
As they travel
Through the fryer,
186
00:14:28,103 --> 00:14:31,551
Rolling molds give the chips
Their uniformly concave shape,
187
00:14:31,551 --> 00:14:33,965
Making them
More easily stackable.
188
00:14:43,379 --> 00:14:46,827
The chips spend 11 seconds
In hot oil, crisping.
189
00:14:50,931 --> 00:14:55,034
Then they travel under blowers
To get rid of excess oil.
190
00:14:56,827 --> 00:14:59,034
The chips
Get a coat of seasoning,
191
00:14:59,034 --> 00:15:02,482
Then do a backflip off one
Conveyor and onto another,
192
00:15:02,482 --> 00:15:04,689
Falling into neat piles.
193
00:15:07,068 --> 00:15:10,137
A worker inspects
The rows of chips.
194
00:15:13,137 --> 00:15:14,931
Then it's onto another conveyor
195
00:15:14,931 --> 00:15:17,206
That shakes them up
To loosen the stack.
196
00:15:21,689 --> 00:15:25,896
They travel over scales to be
Portioned out for packaging.
197
00:15:27,379 --> 00:15:31,551
Automated spoons shove the chips
Into the open ends of the tubes.
198
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:36,275
Guides tap the tops of the tubes
199
00:15:36,275 --> 00:15:38,655
To nudge the chips
Into position.
200
00:15:42,482 --> 00:15:45,448
Grippers then lower the stacks
Of tubes to a station,
201
00:15:45,448 --> 00:15:48,655
Where spinning heads
Force metal bottoms onto them.
202
00:15:51,068 --> 00:15:54,896
Now they're ready for shipping.
203
00:15:54,896 --> 00:15:58,034
It takes about 20 minutes to
Make a tube of stackable chips,
204
00:15:58,034 --> 00:16:01,103
But it takes less time
To polish them off.
205
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,724
Up next, jet compressor blades
That really make the cut.
206
00:16:13,793 --> 00:16:15,103
Narrator: compressor blades
Are key components
207
00:16:15,103 --> 00:16:16,275
In a jet's engine.
208
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:18,448
Thousands of them whirl
Inside the engine,
209
00:16:18,448 --> 00:16:20,620
Rotating 400 times per second
210
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:23,620
And whipping air
Into small hurricanes.
211
00:16:28,344 --> 00:16:30,931
Large compressor blades
Made of titanium
212
00:16:30,931 --> 00:16:34,413
Compress the air in front of
An engine's turbo chamber.
213
00:16:34,413 --> 00:16:35,965
In the back of the chamber,
214
00:16:35,965 --> 00:16:40,103
Smaller blades made of nickel
Alloy compress it even more.
215
00:16:40,103 --> 00:16:43,551
The air heats up
To more than 1,000 degrees,
216
00:16:43,551 --> 00:16:46,379
Then combines with jet fuel,
Creating a powerful mix
217
00:16:46,379 --> 00:16:49,000
That explodes
Out the back of the engine.
218
00:16:52,103 --> 00:16:55,586
The blades start off
As metal pellets called slugs.
219
00:16:55,586 --> 00:16:58,827
A ceramic layer prevents
Their surfaces from oxidizing
220
00:16:58,827 --> 00:17:01,896
When exposed to intense heat.
221
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:07,275
The slugs are heated for 15
Minutes in an 1,800-degree oven.
222
00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:11,827
Meanwhile,
A robot sprays lubricant
223
00:17:11,827 --> 00:17:14,172
On two dies inside a press.
224
00:17:19,965 --> 00:17:23,448
The robot retrieves the slugs
And loads them in the first die.
225
00:17:23,448 --> 00:17:26,655
The press applies over 1,000
Tons of pressure
226
00:17:26,655 --> 00:17:28,758
To preform the metal.
227
00:17:28,758 --> 00:17:32,172
The robot then transfers
The slugs to the second die,
228
00:17:32,172 --> 00:17:36,034
Where they take the initial
Shape of the blade.
229
00:17:36,034 --> 00:17:38,724
The blades are dipped in water
To cool.
230
00:17:44,275 --> 00:17:47,655
Another robot cleans the metal
Burrs off the edges.
231
00:17:59,758 --> 00:18:02,551
The blade is now an airfoil.
232
00:18:02,551 --> 00:18:05,172
Robots will shape
The rounded base of the blade,
233
00:18:05,172 --> 00:18:07,000
Called the dovetail, later.
234
00:18:09,689 --> 00:18:15,000
The airfoil has gone from this
To this.
235
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,310
After a new ceramic layer
Is applied,
236
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,482
The blade is heated again.
237
00:18:23,137 --> 00:18:25,551
Each heating and cooling cycle
Tempers the metal,
238
00:18:25,551 --> 00:18:28,724
Making it more resilient.
239
00:18:28,724 --> 00:18:30,896
Almost 1,800 tons of pressure
240
00:18:30,896 --> 00:18:33,620
Gives the airfoil
Its final shape.
241
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,482
A trimmer
Shaves off the excess metal.
242
00:18:37,482 --> 00:18:39,034
The searing heat
Has turned
243
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:41,448
The protective ceramic layer
Into glass.
244
00:18:41,448 --> 00:18:44,034
That will come off later.
245
00:18:47,689 --> 00:18:50,448
It's taken an hour
To shape the blade's airfoil.
246
00:18:50,448 --> 00:18:53,965
The dovetail,
That nub on the right, is next.
247
00:18:53,965 --> 00:18:57,724
But first, this measuring
Machine inspects the airfoil.
248
00:18:57,724 --> 00:18:59,689
If any measurement is off
249
00:18:59,689 --> 00:19:02,103
By just half the thickness
Of a human hair,
250
00:19:02,103 --> 00:19:03,896
The blade doesn't make the cut.
251
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:09,379
This casting machine will encase
The airfoil in a matrix,
252
00:19:09,379 --> 00:19:11,206
A coating that protects
The airfoil
253
00:19:11,206 --> 00:19:12,931
During work on the dovetail.
254
00:19:12,931 --> 00:19:16,068
The matrix is molded
From liquid tin and bismuth.
255
00:19:18,068 --> 00:19:21,344
It solidifies into a metal cast
Around the airfoil.
256
00:19:21,344 --> 00:19:25,068
The future dovetail sticks out
At the end.
257
00:19:25,068 --> 00:19:28,413
The cast is then loaded into
What is called a broach machine.
258
00:19:28,413 --> 00:19:32,620
Its series of teeth carve the
Dovetail into its final shape.
259
00:19:40,448 --> 00:19:42,241
Now the cast can come off.
260
00:19:42,241 --> 00:19:45,137
A worker loads it
Onto the removal machine,
261
00:19:45,137 --> 00:19:48,310
And a hydraulic cylinder hits
The cast at its weakest point,
262
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:51,931
Breaking it in half.
263
00:19:51,931 --> 00:19:55,000
The finished airfoil
Emerges unscathed.
264
00:19:58,103 --> 00:19:59,482
A dot-matrix machine
265
00:19:59,482 --> 00:20:08,655
Punches identification numbers
Onto the blade.
266
00:20:08,655 --> 00:20:10,965
Next, the blades are submerged
In a fluid
267
00:20:10,965 --> 00:20:13,517
That penetrates any flaws
In the metal.
268
00:20:16,172 --> 00:20:18,034
This inspection is critical
269
00:20:18,034 --> 00:20:20,689
Because even the tiniest nick
Can spell disaster
270
00:20:20,689 --> 00:20:23,655
When a jet's engines
Are working at full speed.
271
00:20:25,793 --> 00:20:29,379
Inspectors examine the blades
Under a black light.
272
00:20:29,379 --> 00:20:31,034
This one's perfect,
273
00:20:31,034 --> 00:20:33,034
But spots of fluorescence
On this one
274
00:20:33,034 --> 00:20:36,310
Indicate microscopic cracks
And weaknesses.
275
00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:38,689
This one gets rejected.
276
00:20:40,793 --> 00:20:43,517
The dovetail gets two strips
Of rubber silicone
277
00:20:43,517 --> 00:20:45,137
That ensure an airtight seal
278
00:20:45,137 --> 00:20:47,379
When the dovetail slides
Into the slot
279
00:20:47,379 --> 00:20:49,275
On the compressor drum.
280
00:20:52,862 --> 00:20:56,620
A final check, and the blades
Are now ready for takeoff.
