1
00:00:51,793 --> 00:00:54,103
Narrator:
A rally car is a compact vehicle
2
00:00:54,103 --> 00:00:55,724
That's had a radical makeover.
3
00:00:55,724 --> 00:00:59,793
It's been stripped to the steel
Core and completely rebuilt.
4
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:03,793
International rally regulations
Govern the process.
5
00:01:03,793 --> 00:01:05,965
In the end,
That efficient little vehicle
6
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:08,689
Becomes
A lean, mean racing machine.
7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,793
Fresh out of the factory,
8
00:01:13,793 --> 00:01:15,241
This compact car
9
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,586
Is about to be ripped apart
And put back together again.
10
00:01:18,586 --> 00:01:21,344
The rebuild
Will pump up the power
11
00:01:21,344 --> 00:01:23,275
And transform a quiet road car
12
00:01:23,275 --> 00:01:26,724
Into a vehicle that roars
On the rally racing circuit.
13
00:01:26,724 --> 00:01:30,379
Bold graphics will also make
This compact car look fierce.
14
00:01:30,379 --> 00:01:32,310
As they dismantle the car,
15
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:36,137
They get rid of some superfluous
Brackets and panels
16
00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:37,310
To shed weight.
17
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:38,896
They blast off the paint.
18
00:01:38,896 --> 00:01:41,551
Then they weld
A tubular steel roll cage to it
19
00:01:41,551 --> 00:01:43,482
To protect the driver
And co-driver
20
00:01:43,482 --> 00:01:45,655
In a rollover or crash.
21
00:01:45,655 --> 00:01:48,310
The roll cage
Also stiffens the chassis
22
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:50,689
For better handling
On hard turns.
23
00:01:50,689 --> 00:01:53,862
They widen the back end slightly
24
00:01:53,862 --> 00:01:56,620
To accommodate an upgrade
To a 4-wheel transmission
25
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:59,586
And a larger fuel tank.
26
00:01:59,586 --> 00:02:04,103
Then they paint primer
Onto the modified body shell.
27
00:02:04,103 --> 00:02:07,034
They're now ready
For the rear transmission.
28
00:02:07,034 --> 00:02:11,413
This will convert this
Compact car to 4-wheel drive.
29
00:02:11,413 --> 00:02:13,758
The technician bolts
The transmission
30
00:02:13,758 --> 00:02:17,896
To the rear floor panel.
31
00:02:17,896 --> 00:02:21,344
Upgrading from 2-wheel drive
To 4-wheel drive adds traction
32
00:02:21,344 --> 00:02:24,034
And allows the car to handle
More precisely.
33
00:02:26,827 --> 00:02:29,137
Now the seats.
34
00:02:29,137 --> 00:02:32,551
They're individual survival
Cells made of carbon fiber,
35
00:02:32,551 --> 00:02:34,931
A virtually indestructible
Material.
36
00:02:34,931 --> 00:02:36,620
It's also extremely light,
37
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:38,586
And this helps offset
The extra weight
38
00:02:38,586 --> 00:02:42,551
Added by the rear transmission
And roll cage.
39
00:02:42,551 --> 00:02:45,793
The new dashboard fascia is made
Of lightweight fiberglass
40
00:02:45,793 --> 00:02:47,827
And covered
With a velvety fabric
41
00:02:47,827 --> 00:02:50,310
To block
The reflection of light.
42
00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:52,344
With the dashboard in place,
43
00:02:52,344 --> 00:02:55,793
The car gets the steering column
And wheel.
44
00:02:55,793 --> 00:02:58,620
The car is now ready
For the fiberglass bumper.
45
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:01,965
It's been redesigned slightly
To accommodate new fenders
46
00:03:01,965 --> 00:03:04,517
That are flared
For bigger tires.
47
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:07,482
The technician
Then equips the rally car
48
00:03:07,482 --> 00:03:09,310
With heavy-duty dampers
49
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:11,517
To absorb the shock
Of high-speed bumps
50
00:03:11,517 --> 00:03:14,448
On the rally course.
51
00:03:14,448 --> 00:03:17,689
He slides the stiff spherical
Bearings into the car shell
52
00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:19,965
And secures them.
53
00:03:19,965 --> 00:03:22,793
He links the dampers
And the driveshaft
54
00:03:22,793 --> 00:03:25,862
To the hub carrier
And bolts them into place.
55
00:03:28,103 --> 00:03:30,965
He inserts brake pads into
Lightweight aluminum calipers
56
00:03:30,965 --> 00:03:33,517
And mounts them to the rotors.
57
00:03:33,517 --> 00:03:37,310
This braking system is extra
Large for serious friction,
58
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:41,448
Allowing the rally car to be
Slowed efficiently when needed.
59
00:03:41,448 --> 00:03:45,241
Using a crane, they now lift
The engine into the chassis.
60
00:03:45,241 --> 00:03:48,000
This is the original
1.6-liter engine,
61
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,068
But seriously ramped up
To boost performance.
62
00:03:52,068 --> 00:03:54,655
They've upgraded
The pistons and camshafts,
63
00:03:54,655 --> 00:03:57,655
Among other things,
And added a turbocharger.
64
00:03:57,655 --> 00:03:59,655
This takes
The compact-car engine
65
00:03:59,655 --> 00:04:03,724
From 90 horsepower to 300.
66
00:04:03,724 --> 00:04:07,413
Instead of a metal fuel tank,
They install a rubber one.
67
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:09,344
It's pliable and expands,
68
00:04:09,344 --> 00:04:12,517
So it's unlikely to split
Or crack in a crash.
69
00:04:12,517 --> 00:04:16,793
The rubber fuel cell fits
Perfectly under the trunk floor.
70
00:04:16,793 --> 00:04:19,448
Strapped to that floor
Is this little tool kit.
71
00:04:19,448 --> 00:04:21,310
They've lightened these tools
72
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:23,793
By drilling holes
Into the handles.
73
00:04:23,793 --> 00:04:28,310
As the race heats up, so will
The engine and its fluids.
74
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:30,965
They custom-designed
This u-shaped radiator
75
00:04:30,965 --> 00:04:33,275
To keep
The power-steering oil cool.
76
00:04:33,275 --> 00:04:37,137
They tie it to the front of
The supersized engine radiator.
77
00:04:37,137 --> 00:04:39,482
Without this substantial
Radiator system,
78
00:04:39,482 --> 00:04:41,448
Overheating could kill
The engine,
79
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:44,310
And that would be the end
Of the rally for this car.
80
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:46,413
The mechanics of the rally car
81
00:04:46,413 --> 00:04:48,931
Have now been
Completely rebuilt.
82
00:04:48,931 --> 00:04:50,724
They now install windows.
83
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:52,310
They use double-sided tape
84
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:54,793
To bind the rear side windows
To the car.
85
00:04:54,793 --> 00:04:57,448
Taping the windows means
86
00:04:57,448 --> 00:04:59,931
They can be easily kicked out
In the event of an accident.
87
00:04:59,931 --> 00:05:03,517
The windows are made
Of shatterproof plastic.
88
00:05:03,517 --> 00:05:05,344
So there shouldn't be
Any cuts or scrapes
89
00:05:05,344 --> 00:05:09,103
When busting them out.
90
00:05:09,103 --> 00:05:11,275
Instead of painting the car,
91
00:05:11,275 --> 00:05:13,931
They glue on graphics
From bumper to bumper.
92
00:05:13,931 --> 00:05:16,172
The graphics are made
Of plastic film
93
00:05:16,172 --> 00:05:18,000
That is much lighter than paint.
94
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,965
The crew saves about 11 pounds
By not painting the rally car.
95
00:05:21,965 --> 00:05:25,620
Saving weight and redistributing
It for better handling,
96
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:28,517
While adhering
To tight weight regulations,
97
00:05:28,517 --> 00:05:30,482
Is just part of the challenge.
98
00:05:30,482 --> 00:05:32,827
And a good finish
In the rebuild shop
99
00:05:32,827 --> 00:05:36,620
Could lead to a strong finish
In the rally.
100
00:05:50,793 --> 00:05:52,413
Narrator: british pork pie
101
00:05:52,413 --> 00:05:54,793
Is made of chopped pork
And pork jelly
102
00:05:54,793 --> 00:05:56,551
Nestled inside a crust pastry.
103
00:05:56,551 --> 00:06:00,034
Mass-produced versions contain
Cured pork in a soft pastry.
104
00:06:00,034 --> 00:06:04,517
Premium pies are handmade
With fresh, uncured pork
105
00:06:04,517 --> 00:06:07,620
Inside a pastry that's hard
And crisp on the outside,
106
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:10,275
Soft on the inside.
107
00:06:10,275 --> 00:06:13,689
Among the best-known
Premium varieties of pork pies
108
00:06:13,689 --> 00:06:15,344
Is melton mowbray,
109
00:06:15,344 --> 00:06:17,000
Named after an english town
110
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,551
Which has produced this british
Snack since the 19th century.
111
00:06:20,551 --> 00:06:22,310
Only manufacturers situated
112
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:24,448
Within a defined radius
Of the town
113
00:06:24,448 --> 00:06:27,724
Can legally call their product
Melton mowbray pork pie.
114
00:06:27,724 --> 00:06:30,586
And they have to follow
The traditional recipe,
115
00:06:30,586 --> 00:06:33,689
Which begins with blending
Hard bread flour.
116
00:06:33,689 --> 00:06:36,965
Then workers put lard
Into a pot of cold water...
117
00:06:39,103 --> 00:06:40,758
...Sprinkle with sea salt,
118
00:06:40,758 --> 00:06:46,413
Then bring the water to a fast
Boil, dissolving the lard.
119
00:06:46,413 --> 00:06:49,655
Then they add this hot mixture
To the flour.
120
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:51,689
They blend for a few minutes
121
00:06:51,689 --> 00:06:55,206
Until the ingredients form
A medium-soft golden dough.
122
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:57,655
Unlike dough made
With cold water,
123
00:06:57,655 --> 00:06:59,448
Which bakes soft throughout,
124
00:06:59,448 --> 00:07:02,275
Hot-water dough bakes
Hard on the surface,
125
00:07:02,275 --> 00:07:04,275
But soft within.
126
00:07:07,275 --> 00:07:09,034
They roll the dough into balls
127
00:07:09,034 --> 00:07:11,862
Of approximately
Half a pound each...
128
00:07:13,310 --> 00:07:15,241
...Then roll half the balls flat
129
00:07:15,241 --> 00:07:18,241
Into a layer
Roughly 2/10 of an inch thick.
130
00:07:20,379 --> 00:07:24,586
With a round pastry cutter,
They slice circles.
131
00:07:24,586 --> 00:07:27,689
Each one will be a pie top,
Called a lid.
132
00:07:27,689 --> 00:07:30,241
The other dough balls
Will later become
133
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:32,724
The base of the pie,
Called the case.
134
00:07:32,724 --> 00:07:36,034
The pie filling is made
From fresh pork shoulder,
135
00:07:36,034 --> 00:07:38,103
White pepper, and sea salt.
136
00:07:38,103 --> 00:07:40,655
They prepare the filling
In small batches
137
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:44,172
In order to better control
The distribution of ingredients.
138
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:46,551
After cutting the pork
Into small chunks,
139
00:07:46,551 --> 00:07:48,724
They sprinkle
With salt and pepper...
140
00:07:48,724 --> 00:07:51,000
Mix by hand...
141
00:07:53,482 --> 00:07:57,000
...Then form balls the same size
As the pastry balls.
142
00:08:02,034 --> 00:08:03,689
In the assembly area,
143
00:08:03,689 --> 00:08:07,000
Workers lay a plastic sheet
Over the hoop of a pie press
144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,206
To prevent the dough
From sticking.
145
00:08:10,206 --> 00:08:11,724
They put a pastry ball
In the hoop
146
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:14,206
And cover it
With another sheet...
147
00:08:15,931 --> 00:08:20,241
...Then plunge a round metal die
Into the hoop to form the case.
148
00:08:23,862 --> 00:08:26,034
Now they drop
A pork ball inside,
149
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:30,448
Pushing it down to force out
Some of the trapped air.
150
00:08:30,448 --> 00:08:34,241
They brush water onto the edge
Of the case to make it sticky.
151
00:08:34,241 --> 00:08:37,344
Then they apply the lid, lightly
Thumb-pressing all around
152
00:08:37,344 --> 00:08:40,241
To adhere it
To the sticky edge of the case.
153
00:08:40,241 --> 00:08:43,724
Then with
A different hand press,
154
00:08:43,724 --> 00:08:47,448
They score the perimeter
Of the pie...
155
00:08:47,448 --> 00:08:50,137
And gently run a wooden block
Across the top.
156
00:08:50,137 --> 00:08:52,000
This removes the excess dough
157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,103
Without unsealing
Or ripping the pie.
158
00:08:55,103 --> 00:08:58,241
A ventilation hole in the middle
Lets just enough steam escape
159
00:08:58,241 --> 00:08:59,793
To prevent pressure
160
00:08:59,793 --> 00:09:01,689
From building up
And bursting the lid.
161
00:09:01,689 --> 00:09:05,103
The steam that remains
Helps tenderize the pork.
162
00:09:05,103 --> 00:09:08,206
A pie decorator
Crimps the edge inward.
163
00:09:08,206 --> 00:09:11,137
Then the pies go
Onto a baking sheet
164
00:09:11,137 --> 00:09:12,724
And into the oven for an hour
165
00:09:12,724 --> 00:09:14,896
At just under
400 degrees fahrenheit.
166
00:09:14,896 --> 00:09:18,241
Earlier, workers prepared
The pork jelly
167
00:09:18,241 --> 00:09:21,241
By boiling pigs' feet
In a large pot of water...
168
00:09:21,241 --> 00:09:23,344
Then simmering for nine hours
169
00:09:23,344 --> 00:09:25,896
To release the natural gelatin
From the bones.
170
00:09:29,482 --> 00:09:31,965
Now they strain
The pot's contents
171
00:09:31,965 --> 00:09:34,241
To isolate this natural jelly.
172
00:09:38,275 --> 00:09:41,965
They've timed this perfectly
So that the jelly is still warm
173
00:09:41,965 --> 00:09:45,586
When the pies
Come out of the oven.
174
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:49,862
When they do, their pastry crust
Is a golden color.
175
00:09:49,862 --> 00:09:54,413
The pork, as meat tends to do,
Has shrunk during cooking,
176
00:09:54,413 --> 00:09:56,896
Creating empty spaces
Inside the pastry.
177
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:58,724
It's into those voids
178
00:09:58,724 --> 00:10:01,034
That workers now inject
The warm pork jelly
179
00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:03,551
Until it starts bubbling out
The hole at the top.
180
00:10:03,551 --> 00:10:04,965
This indicates the jelly
181
00:10:04,965 --> 00:10:07,517
Has filled
All the nooks and crannies.
182
00:10:07,517 --> 00:10:10,137
The pies go immediately
Into a fridge
183
00:10:10,137 --> 00:10:12,379
Set at 43 degrees fahrenheit.
184
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:16,793
They remain inside for about
90 minutes until the jelly sets.
185
00:10:16,793 --> 00:10:19,689
From now on, the pork
Will remain moist
186
00:10:19,689 --> 00:10:22,482
Thanks to this congealed jelly
Surrounding it.
187
00:10:22,482 --> 00:10:25,206
Each pie is wrapped
In a see-through package
188
00:10:25,206 --> 00:10:27,275
Bearing a "Best before" date.
189
00:10:27,275 --> 00:10:31,551
Kept refrigerated, a pork pie
Stays fresh for about a week.
190
00:10:31,551 --> 00:10:33,689
You take it out of the fridge
191
00:10:33,689 --> 00:10:37,172
And let it warm to room
Temperature before digging in.
192
00:10:37,172 --> 00:10:40,965
No self-respecting brit
Ever warms up pork pie.
193
00:10:50,862 --> 00:10:52,689
Narrator: a floating fountain
194
00:10:52,689 --> 00:10:55,275
Adds visual interest
To a pond or pool.
195
00:10:55,275 --> 00:10:58,448
It continuously shoots water
Several yards high,
196
00:10:58,448 --> 00:11:01,551
Producing ribbons
Of cascading water.
197
00:11:01,551 --> 00:11:04,793
A submersible pump
Generates the effect.
198
00:11:04,793 --> 00:11:08,448
And all you have to do is just
Sit back and enjoy the show.
199
00:11:12,206 --> 00:11:14,689
A floating fountain
Is a pleasant sight,
200
00:11:14,689 --> 00:11:16,206
But it's also practical.
201
00:11:16,206 --> 00:11:19,034
The constant pumping action
Aerates the water,
202
00:11:19,034 --> 00:11:20,448
Preventing stagnation
203
00:11:20,448 --> 00:11:23,517
That breeds mosquitoes
And causes algae growth.
204
00:11:26,862 --> 00:11:29,620
Production begins
With the floatation ring,
205
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:31,931
Which they cast
A section at a time.
206
00:11:31,931 --> 00:11:34,586
A worker pours a measured amount
Of plastic powder
207
00:11:34,586 --> 00:11:37,586
Into the bottom half
Of a clamshell mold.
208
00:11:37,586 --> 00:11:39,689
The mold is attached to an arm
209
00:11:39,689 --> 00:11:43,482
That swings it into an oven
And rotates it on two axes.
210
00:11:43,482 --> 00:11:45,241
The mold heats up.
211
00:11:45,241 --> 00:11:46,655
The powder melts
212
00:11:46,655 --> 00:11:50,482
And adheres to the walls of
The mold, forming a hollow part.
213
00:11:52,206 --> 00:11:54,758
The mold now moves
Into a cooling zone,
214
00:11:54,758 --> 00:11:57,448
Where it first rotates
In front of a fan,
215
00:11:57,448 --> 00:11:59,689
Then under a cool spray
Of water.
216
00:11:59,689 --> 00:12:01,655
The constant turning minimizes
217
00:12:01,655 --> 00:12:04,448
Sagging or buckling
In the plastic
218
00:12:04,448 --> 00:12:08,172
As the hollow part cools
And solidifies inside.
219
00:12:08,172 --> 00:12:10,448
The mold opens,
Revealing a quarter section
220
00:12:10,448 --> 00:12:12,172
Of the flotation ring.
221
00:12:12,172 --> 00:12:14,551
Stainless-steel inserts
For attaching it to the
Other sections
222
00:12:14,551 --> 00:12:17,034
Have been embedded
Into the plastic.
223
00:12:19,275 --> 00:12:22,586
They now mechanically push
The hollow part underwater.
224
00:12:22,586 --> 00:12:24,551
This is a test.
225
00:12:24,551 --> 00:12:26,034
They pump air into it
226
00:12:26,034 --> 00:12:29,034
And check for bubbles
That would indicate a hole.
227
00:12:29,034 --> 00:12:31,517
The fountain ring
Must be leakproof
228
00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:35,172
Because water will eventually be
Added to it to level it.
229
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:39,206
A worker now bolts
The four quarters together
230
00:12:39,206 --> 00:12:40,620
Using brackets
231
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:43,206
And the steel inserts molded
Into the plastic earlier.
232
00:12:46,379 --> 00:12:48,758
Next, they focus
On the framework
233
00:12:48,758 --> 00:12:50,620
For the submersible pump.
234
00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:55,517
A mechanical saw cuts the
Stainless steel parts to size,
235
00:12:55,517 --> 00:12:57,931
And a welder pieces them
Together.
236
00:12:57,931 --> 00:13:00,965
Another worker now attaches
The completed framework
237
00:13:00,965 --> 00:13:02,275
To the brackets
238
00:13:02,275 --> 00:13:05,000
Protruding from the bottom
Of the floatation ring.
239
00:13:07,517 --> 00:13:10,793
Using a press, they bend steel
To create brackets
240
00:13:10,793 --> 00:13:12,586
To hold the fountain's lights.
241
00:13:12,586 --> 00:13:15,724
They bolt the light brackets
To the pump frame
242
00:13:15,724 --> 00:13:19,758
In a position to illuminate
The upward spray of water.
243
00:13:19,758 --> 00:13:21,724
They slide
The long, tubular casing
244
00:13:21,724 --> 00:13:23,172
For the pump and its motor
245
00:13:23,172 --> 00:13:25,448
Through brackets on the bottom
Of the frame.
246
00:13:25,448 --> 00:13:27,931
This is the pump.
247
00:13:27,931 --> 00:13:31,172
It's open to display
The inner workings.
248
00:13:31,172 --> 00:13:32,758
Those steel disks
Are the impellers
249
00:13:32,758 --> 00:13:34,689
That will force water upward.
250
00:13:34,689 --> 00:13:38,137
The next employee
Applies pvc glue
251
00:13:38,137 --> 00:13:41,344
To attach a flange
To the pump assembly.
252
00:13:41,344 --> 00:13:42,896
The flange will be used
To connect the pump
253
00:13:42,896 --> 00:13:44,551
To the fountain's plumbing.
254
00:13:44,551 --> 00:13:48,000
He now inserts the pump and
Motor assembly into the casing.
255
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,517
The motor has been hermetically
Sealed to keep water out.
256
00:13:51,517 --> 00:13:52,931
Using a special gripper,
257
00:13:52,931 --> 00:13:55,827
He pulls the assembly
All the way through the tube
258
00:13:55,827 --> 00:13:58,724
To complete the installation.
259
00:13:58,724 --> 00:14:01,275
He spreads more glue
Onto the flange
260
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:03,103
And attaches a pvc elbow
261
00:14:03,103 --> 00:14:06,344
That links it to the rest
Of the plumbing.
262
00:14:08,965 --> 00:14:11,724
The entire assembly
Is painted black
263
00:14:11,724 --> 00:14:14,275
So the fountain workings will
Seem to disappear underwater
264
00:14:14,275 --> 00:14:17,310
When viewed from the surface.
265
00:14:20,034 --> 00:14:23,413
With the assembly
Now flipped right side up,
266
00:14:23,413 --> 00:14:26,068
They install the lights.
267
00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:29,241
Then a worker screws a circle
Of eight brass nozzles
268
00:14:29,241 --> 00:14:32,241
Onto a pvc base.
269
00:14:32,241 --> 00:14:34,862
These nozzles will split
The flow of pumped lake water
270
00:14:34,862 --> 00:14:39,000
Into a eight sprays
And configure them in a circle.
271
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,379
He tightens each nozzle
To ensure the connection
272
00:14:42,379 --> 00:14:45,931
Will withstand the powerful
And perpetual pumping action.
273
00:14:48,379 --> 00:14:50,827
He places the nozzle assembly
On the plumbing
274
00:14:50,827 --> 00:14:52,689
Protruding
From the fountain raft
275
00:14:52,689 --> 00:14:56,793
And twists
The threaded ends together.
276
00:14:56,793 --> 00:14:59,862
The connection must be
Extremely tight.
277
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:05,137
Another worker then rolls
A sheet of perforated steel
278
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:08,034
To build a tubular screen
To filter the water
279
00:15:08,034 --> 00:15:10,275
As it flows into the pump.
280
00:15:10,275 --> 00:15:12,068
The screen fits perfectly
281
00:15:12,068 --> 00:15:15,413
Onto the intake end of the pump
And motor tube.
282
00:15:15,413 --> 00:15:17,931
With the floating fountain
Now complete,
283
00:15:17,931 --> 00:15:20,827
It's ready to be wired
To the control panel.
284
00:15:20,827 --> 00:15:23,344
This panel
Will be positioned lakeside
285
00:15:23,344 --> 00:15:26,655
For onsite activation
And programming of the timer.
286
00:15:28,379 --> 00:15:31,517
The floating fountain is
Now ready for launching.
287
00:15:31,517 --> 00:15:33,931
This particular one is
A larger version
288
00:15:33,931 --> 00:15:35,689
Of the one we saw being built,
289
00:15:35,689 --> 00:15:39,758
But big or small, it's all about
Going with the flow.
290
00:15:50,655 --> 00:15:52,896
Narrator: artificial stone
Is a cast material
291
00:15:52,896 --> 00:15:55,517
That looks just like
Sculpted natural stone.
292
00:15:55,517 --> 00:15:57,896
Since the early 18th century,
293
00:15:57,896 --> 00:16:00,586
Manufacturers have cast stone
In molds,
294
00:16:00,586 --> 00:16:03,448
Producing beautiful garden
And landscape ornaments,
295
00:16:03,448 --> 00:16:05,482
As well
As architectural components
296
00:16:05,482 --> 00:16:07,862
Designed to enhance buildings.
297
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,275
Classical-style statues
And other garden ornaments
298
00:16:14,275 --> 00:16:17,517
Came into fashion in england
In the 1700s.
299
00:16:17,517 --> 00:16:20,034
It was trendy
For the upper classes
300
00:16:20,034 --> 00:16:24,068
To tour italy and admire ancient
Roman art and architecture.
301
00:16:24,068 --> 00:16:26,241
Not every noble
Was wealthy enough
302
00:16:26,241 --> 00:16:29,241
To haul home a solid stone
Antiquity by stagecoach,
303
00:16:29,241 --> 00:16:30,482
So english factories
304
00:16:30,482 --> 00:16:33,931
Began producing facsimiles
In artificial stone.
305
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:40,413
The production process today
Is much like it was then,
306
00:16:40,413 --> 00:16:41,896
Beginning in the studio,
307
00:16:41,896 --> 00:16:45,103
Where a sculptor makes
A plaster model of the ornament.
308
00:16:45,103 --> 00:16:48,206
This one's a copy
Of an antique bust of pan,
309
00:16:48,206 --> 00:16:51,310
The greek mythological figure.
310
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,896
They use
This intricately detailed model
311
00:16:53,896 --> 00:16:55,689
To make the production mold.
312
00:16:55,689 --> 00:16:58,310
After coating the plaster
With a sealer,
313
00:16:58,310 --> 00:17:01,413
They cover the entire model
With thin strips of clay,
314
00:17:01,413 --> 00:17:04,137
Making certain divisions
Between strips
315
00:17:04,137 --> 00:17:07,172
To create the production mold's
Various sections.
316
00:17:07,172 --> 00:17:11,310
Over the clay, they apply
Six or so layers
317
00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:14,655
Of fiberglass cloth
Saturated with resin.
318
00:17:14,655 --> 00:17:15,965
The resin cures,
319
00:17:15,965 --> 00:17:19,172
Producing a 3/10-inch-thick
Multi-sectioned case
320
00:17:19,172 --> 00:17:21,758
Around the clay-covered model.
321
00:17:21,758 --> 00:17:24,103
Next they open the case
And remove the clay,
322
00:17:24,103 --> 00:17:27,000
Which leaves a gap
Around the model.
323
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,482
They close the case
324
00:17:28,482 --> 00:17:31,793
And fill that gap with their
Specially developed rubber.
325
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:33,206
When the rubber cures,
326
00:17:33,206 --> 00:17:35,689
They open the case
And remove the model,
327
00:17:35,689 --> 00:17:37,068
Revealing a rubber mold
328
00:17:37,068 --> 00:17:39,655
That bears all the model's
Intricate details.
329
00:17:39,655 --> 00:17:43,137
They send this cased mold
Off to the production facility
330
00:17:43,137 --> 00:17:44,931
And put the model in storage
331
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:50,137
Until the rubber mold wears out
And it's time to pour a new one.
332
00:17:50,137 --> 00:17:54,172
The artificial stone is a
Natural-looking off-white color.
333
00:17:54,172 --> 00:17:57,793
It's made of fine sand,
White cement, and limestone,
334
00:17:57,793 --> 00:18:00,344
Plus plasticizers,
Waterproofers,
335
00:18:00,344 --> 00:18:02,344
And a few secret ingredients.
336
00:18:02,344 --> 00:18:05,413
The factory adds stone pigments
Into the mix
337
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:08,103
To produce terra cotta
And other colors.
338
00:18:08,103 --> 00:18:11,413
A computer-controlled system
Feeds the ingredients
339
00:18:11,413 --> 00:18:14,103
Into the mixer
In all the right proportions,
340
00:18:14,103 --> 00:18:15,965
Then adds
A small amount of water
341
00:18:15,965 --> 00:18:20,551
To activate the cement
That binds everything together.
342
00:18:20,551 --> 00:18:22,275
On the production floor,
343
00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:24,965
A caster repeatedly shovels
A bit of stone mixture
344
00:18:24,965 --> 00:18:28,137
Into the fiberglass-encased
Rubber mold,
345
00:18:28,137 --> 00:18:30,689
Then, using both hand
And pneumatic tools,
346
00:18:30,689 --> 00:18:33,206
Compacts it in the mold.
347
00:18:33,206 --> 00:18:34,896
The quality of the ornament
348
00:18:34,896 --> 00:18:37,517
Depends greatly
On the caster's technique.
349
00:18:37,517 --> 00:18:39,689
The trick is
To ram enough stone mixture
350
00:18:39,689 --> 00:18:41,827
Into every nook and cranny
Of the mold,
351
00:18:41,827 --> 00:18:44,517
But not compact too much
At a time,
352
00:18:44,517 --> 00:18:46,482
As this mold would produce
353
00:18:46,482 --> 00:18:49,482
Unattractive layers
In the finished ornament.
354
00:18:49,482 --> 00:18:52,758
They trowel the open side
Of the mold by hand
355
00:18:52,758 --> 00:18:54,655
And smooth the surface.
356
00:19:01,758 --> 00:19:06,137
The stone mix takes 24 hours
To reach an initial set.
357
00:19:06,137 --> 00:19:08,034
Then, section by section,
358
00:19:08,034 --> 00:19:11,275
They unbolt the case
And peel off the rubber mold.
359
00:19:21,379 --> 00:19:23,275
This may be artificial stone,
360
00:19:23,275 --> 00:19:27,034
But its surface texture closely
Resembles carved limestone.
361
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:34,172
The final step
Is a vapor curing.
362
00:19:34,172 --> 00:19:37,172
The ornaments go
Into a chamber overnight.
363
00:19:37,172 --> 00:19:40,000
The steam forces moisture
Into the pores,
364
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,689
Curing the cement inside.
365
00:19:42,689 --> 00:19:47,620
This type of artificial stone
Is called dry cast limestone.
366
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:50,275
Other ornaments are made
Of wet cast limestone,
367
00:19:50,275 --> 00:19:52,517
A mixture
Of similar ingredients,
368
00:19:52,517 --> 00:19:57,793
But in larger particle size
And containing much more water.
369
00:19:57,793 --> 00:20:00,862
Because you
Can embed stainless-steel
Reinforcement bars in it,
370
00:20:00,862 --> 00:20:04,068
Wet cast is the better material
For making objects
371
00:20:04,068 --> 00:20:07,000
Such as garden benches
Or large fountain bowls
372
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,551
That require
Structural strength.
373
00:20:09,551 --> 00:20:12,448
Wet cast doesn't have
To be vapor-cured
374
00:20:12,448 --> 00:20:15,034
Because of its high
Water content.
375
00:20:15,034 --> 00:20:17,034
However, unlike dry cast,
376
00:20:17,034 --> 00:20:19,275
Which is finished
When it comes out of the mold,
377
00:20:19,275 --> 00:20:21,896
Wet cast
Does require finishing.
378
00:20:21,896 --> 00:20:24,275
Workers have to grind away
Excess material
379
00:20:24,275 --> 00:20:27,068
That sometimes seeps
Out of the joints in the mold
380
00:20:27,068 --> 00:20:28,413
And hardens.
381
00:20:28,413 --> 00:20:32,586
The wet cast surface
Is smooth and sealed,
382
00:20:32,586 --> 00:20:35,000
So it's normally easier
To clean.
383
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,827
Dry cast stone, by contrast,
Has a textured surface
384
00:20:38,827 --> 00:20:42,517
And weathers
To an antique look.
