These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:22,724 --> 00:00:24,931 Narrator: Today on "How it's made"... 2 00:00:47,068 --> 00:00:50,068 --captions by vitac-- Www.Vitac.Com 3 00:00:50,068 --> 00:00:53,034 Captions paid for by Discovery communications 4 00:00:53,034 --> 00:00:55,344 Narrator: When it comes to iconic hats, 5 00:00:55,344 --> 00:00:57,827 Nothing says french More than the beret, 6 00:00:57,827 --> 00:01:00,482 Specifically The basque-style beret, 7 00:01:00,482 --> 00:01:03,310 As people wear different Styles in other countries. 8 00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:06,517 The basque beret was Traditionally worn by shepherds 9 00:01:06,517 --> 00:01:09,586 Tending their flocks along The pyrenees mountain range 10 00:01:09,586 --> 00:01:14,103 That divides southern France from spain. 11 00:01:14,103 --> 00:01:18,275 The basque beret dates back To the 1600s in southern france. 12 00:01:18,275 --> 00:01:22,517 Made of black merino wool, It has a little cabillou on top. 13 00:01:22,517 --> 00:01:27,344 The factory making these berets Has been doing so since 1840. 14 00:01:27,344 --> 00:01:31,793 An automated machine knits Undyed wood yarn into a galette, 15 00:01:31,793 --> 00:01:34,103 The french word for pancake. 16 00:01:34,103 --> 00:01:36,827 The galette is flat And round with loose 17 00:01:36,827 --> 00:01:41,862 Knit stitches making it Soft and floppy. 18 00:01:41,862 --> 00:01:45,137 A worker then pulls The galette's central thread, 19 00:01:45,137 --> 00:01:48,793 Closing it into a circular shape Resembling a shower cap. 20 00:01:51,517 --> 00:01:54,137 In an industrial size Washing machine, 21 00:01:54,137 --> 00:01:58,172 A worker washes this rudimentary Beret in lukewarm water 22 00:01:58,172 --> 00:02:02,827 From the local river And soap for about 8 hours. 23 00:02:02,827 --> 00:02:05,482 The type of soap Is a trade secret. 24 00:02:05,482 --> 00:02:06,827 The wool shrinks, 25 00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:09,793 Causing the loose knit stitches To tighten. 26 00:02:09,793 --> 00:02:12,379 The wool fibers also soften, 27 00:02:12,379 --> 00:02:15,000 Transforming into The smooth and soft wool 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,344 And fabric we call felt. 29 00:02:18,344 --> 00:02:19,931 After felting the beret, 30 00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:23,103 The manufacturers begin The dyeing process. 31 00:02:23,103 --> 00:02:25,862 The worker loads it into Another washing machine, 32 00:02:25,862 --> 00:02:28,862 Only this time With powdered dye. 33 00:02:28,862 --> 00:02:31,448 This factory has always Produced its own dyes 34 00:02:31,448 --> 00:02:33,793 In a wide range of colors, 35 00:02:33,793 --> 00:02:36,724 Again using water From the local river. 36 00:02:36,724 --> 00:02:39,068 However, the temperature To which this company heats 37 00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:41,551 It is a closely guarded secret. 38 00:02:47,620 --> 00:02:50,551 When the dye cycle finishes, Another worker checks 39 00:02:50,551 --> 00:02:53,172 The beret against a color sample 40 00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:56,482 Because the wool composition And the river water quality 41 00:02:56,482 --> 00:02:59,551 Are variable factors That can affect dye absorption. 42 00:03:02,551 --> 00:03:06,413 The next step is to form The beret to the final shape. 43 00:03:06,413 --> 00:03:11,034 Traditionally, beret factories Did this using wooden forms, 44 00:03:11,034 --> 00:03:14,620 But today, they use metal ones. 45 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:16,931 The beret remains on the form Long enough 46 00:03:16,931 --> 00:03:19,310 To lock in the shape. 47 00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:22,482 This process, too, depends on The wool composition 48 00:03:22,482 --> 00:03:23,793 As well as on how humid 49 00:03:23,793 --> 00:03:26,068 It is in the factory On that particular day. 50 00:03:30,724 --> 00:03:34,344 Each beret goes for a spin On the scratching machine, 51 00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:38,137 A rotating wheel surfaced With wire brushes. 52 00:03:38,137 --> 00:03:41,413 The bristles lift the wood Fibers, thickening the felt. 53 00:03:46,586 --> 00:03:50,448 After inserting a cardboard Template to maintain the shape, 54 00:03:50,448 --> 00:03:52,655 A worker uses a manual Shearing tool 55 00:03:52,655 --> 00:03:56,517 To carefully scratch the area Around the cabillou. 56 00:03:56,517 --> 00:03:59,965 She removes any clinging plant Debris left by the river water 57 00:03:59,965 --> 00:04:03,689 Used in the wash and dye cycles. 58 00:04:03,689 --> 00:04:06,689 Then she inspects for any holes Or stretched fibers. 59 00:04:09,758 --> 00:04:13,931 The beret now goes To the seamstress. 60 00:04:13,931 --> 00:04:17,620 First, she heats a black cotton Lining on a mold to shape it 61 00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:20,758 To fit perfectly Inside the beret. 62 00:04:20,758 --> 00:04:22,827 The lining has The manufacturer's label 63 00:04:22,827 --> 00:04:24,275 In the center, 64 00:04:24,275 --> 00:04:29,000 Which features the company crest And the model name, vrai basque, 65 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,758 Confirming that this is indeed An authentic basque-style beret. 66 00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:39,931 She turns the beret inside out To sew in the lining. 67 00:04:46,517 --> 00:04:49,172 Then she turns the beret Right side out again 68 00:04:49,172 --> 00:04:52,068 And puts it on A stretching machine. 69 00:04:52,068 --> 00:04:54,965 She sets the machine To the desired hat size, 70 00:04:54,965 --> 00:04:58,137 And it automatically stretches The beret to that size. 71 00:05:04,724 --> 00:05:08,241 Now, she sews a black Leather band to the edge. 72 00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:10,517 The hat size is printed on it. 73 00:05:10,517 --> 00:05:12,965 Some models feature A color trim on the band. 74 00:05:16,827 --> 00:05:19,931 The finishing touch is The company's metal hallmark. 75 00:05:23,068 --> 00:05:26,103 She rivets it to the underside Of the beret on one side... 76 00:05:32,103 --> 00:05:35,000 ...And that caps off production. 77 00:05:49,689 --> 00:05:51,724 Narrator: pastis is An anise-flavored liqueur 78 00:05:51,724 --> 00:05:53,655 Popular in france, 79 00:05:53,655 --> 00:05:56,206 Particularly in the southern City of marseilles 80 00:05:56,206 --> 00:05:57,896 Where it originated. 81 00:05:57,896 --> 00:05:59,448 You don't drink It straight, though. 82 00:05:59,448 --> 00:06:02,275 The proper technique is To dilute it with water, 83 00:06:02,275 --> 00:06:05,724 Typically 5 to 7 parts Water to one part pastis. 84 00:06:05,724 --> 00:06:10,689 Then add ice. 85 00:06:10,689 --> 00:06:13,689 The maker of this pastis Combines star anise 86 00:06:13,689 --> 00:06:16,344 With licorice extract And herbs and spices 87 00:06:16,344 --> 00:06:19,931 From the provence Region of france. 88 00:06:19,931 --> 00:06:23,620 Star anise is an asian spice. 89 00:06:23,620 --> 00:06:25,862 The starting ingredient For this pastis is 90 00:06:25,862 --> 00:06:28,758 A pale yellow star anise Essential oil 91 00:06:28,758 --> 00:06:33,862 Purchased From a chinese supplier. 92 00:06:33,862 --> 00:06:36,965 The first step at this french Distillery is to distill 93 00:06:36,965 --> 00:06:39,137 That essential oil. 94 00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:40,517 As the oil is heated, 95 00:06:40,517 --> 00:06:43,517 It evaporates and rises up The column still, 96 00:06:43,517 --> 00:06:46,862 Passing through a series Of stacking cooling trays. 97 00:06:46,862 --> 00:06:48,379 Each tray condenses, 98 00:06:48,379 --> 00:06:52,793 Then removes one of the oil's Various components. 99 00:06:52,793 --> 00:06:56,448 Pastis requires just one of The extracted components -- 100 00:06:56,448 --> 00:06:59,827 Anethole, which is an organic Compound responsible 101 00:06:59,827 --> 00:07:04,068 For the anise flavor and smell. 102 00:07:04,068 --> 00:07:09,241 This pastis recipe also contains 60 different herbs and spices, 103 00:07:09,241 --> 00:07:14,965 Each of which is separately Distilled into alcohol. 104 00:07:14,965 --> 00:07:18,034 One of these herbs Is artemisia vulgaris, 105 00:07:18,034 --> 00:07:22,551 Commonly known as mugwort. 106 00:07:22,551 --> 00:07:25,068 A worker loads mugwort Leaves into a tank 107 00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,586 Filled with a mixture Of water and alcohol. 108 00:07:35,344 --> 00:07:39,275 As the leaves soak, The alcohol acts as a solvent, 109 00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:42,379 Extracting The aromatic molecules. 110 00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:46,448 This process Is called maceration. 111 00:07:46,448 --> 00:07:50,137 After a few days, workers Drain the alcoholic liquid, 112 00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:53,827 Now infused with Aromatic molecules. 113 00:07:53,827 --> 00:07:59,241 It's so alcoholic that It emits volatile fumes, 114 00:07:59,241 --> 00:08:01,344 So workers wear an alarm That goes off 115 00:08:01,344 --> 00:08:05,551 When the surrounding air Reaches an explosive level. 116 00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:06,931 The liquid is stored in a vat 117 00:08:06,931 --> 00:08:10,241 Until it's time To mix the pastis. 118 00:08:10,241 --> 00:08:13,344 Then, a worker removes The alcohol-soaked mugwort 119 00:08:13,344 --> 00:08:14,620 Leaves from the tank 120 00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:17,448 And transfer them To a distillation device 121 00:08:17,448 --> 00:08:20,620 Called an alembic. 122 00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:24,000 The alembic heats the mash Of fermented leaves with steam 123 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,758 Produced by a wood-fired boiler. 124 00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,896 Once the mash heats to A temperature of 125 00:08:30,896 --> 00:08:32,862 172 degrees fahrenheit, 126 00:08:32,862 --> 00:08:38,551 The alcohol in it Begins to evaporate and rise. 127 00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:42,896 The alcoholic vapor eventually Reaches the neck of the alembic, 128 00:08:42,896 --> 00:08:45,517 Where cooling coils Condense it into liquid, 129 00:08:45,517 --> 00:08:48,758 Which then flows out of The alembic and through a filter 130 00:08:48,758 --> 00:08:51,758 That also removes Plant particles. 131 00:08:51,758 --> 00:08:55,000 An alcoholometer measures The percentage of alcohol, 132 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,931 Which starts off very high, Then tapers off. 133 00:08:58,931 --> 00:09:02,034 The pastis maker uses Only the middle of the flow, 134 00:09:02,034 --> 00:09:05,620 When the reading is between 70 and 50%, 135 00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:09,551 What's known as the heart Of the distillation. 136 00:09:09,551 --> 00:09:13,931 To make the pastis, workers Combine all the ingredients. 137 00:09:13,931 --> 00:09:17,344 The anethole, distilled from The anise essential oil, 138 00:09:17,344 --> 00:09:19,931 The 60 different maceration Liquids and distillates of 139 00:09:19,931 --> 00:09:23,862 Herbs and spices And licorice extract. 140 00:09:23,862 --> 00:09:27,206 Workers also add water to dilute The final product's 141 00:09:27,206 --> 00:09:30,655 Alcohol level to 45%. 142 00:09:30,655 --> 00:09:33,068 A last filtration Removes any particles 143 00:09:33,068 --> 00:09:37,517 That would diminish The clarity of the pastis. 144 00:09:37,517 --> 00:09:40,068 A machine bottles the pastis In dark glass 145 00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:42,344 To protect the contents From light, 146 00:09:42,344 --> 00:09:45,034 Which, by oxidation, Would damage the liqueur. 147 00:09:49,206 --> 00:09:50,758 The second station on The filling line 148 00:09:50,758 --> 00:09:53,655 Seals each bottle with a t-cork, 149 00:09:53,655 --> 00:09:55,758 A type of stopper Designed for bottles 150 00:09:55,758 --> 00:10:00,655 Which are opened And sealed repeatedly. 151 00:10:00,655 --> 00:10:03,586 The next station applies A sheath of heat shrink plastic 152 00:10:03,586 --> 00:10:06,551 Over the t-cork. 153 00:10:06,551 --> 00:10:09,034 The bottle then travels Through a heating tunnel, 154 00:10:09,034 --> 00:10:10,758 Which shrinks The plastic tightly 155 00:10:10,758 --> 00:10:12,379 Over the neck of the bottle. 156 00:10:16,551 --> 00:10:20,000 The final station applies The adhesive-backed label. 157 00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:29,517 Pastis is always poured Into the glass first, 158 00:10:29,517 --> 00:10:33,620 Followed by water. 159 00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,620 This makes the liqueur cloudy 160 00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:40,379 Because the anethole Doesn't dissolve in water. 161 00:10:40,379 --> 00:10:44,827 If you want to add ice, you can Do so only after the water, 162 00:10:44,827 --> 00:10:47,862 Otherwise, the anethole Crystallizes. 163 00:10:47,862 --> 00:10:51,103 So just remember that Chemistry lesson and enjoy. 164 00:11:02,827 --> 00:11:05,413 Narrator: The first stationary bike 165 00:11:05,413 --> 00:11:07,344 Was developed by A london physician 166 00:11:07,344 --> 00:11:09,241 In the late 18th century 167 00:11:09,241 --> 00:11:12,586 To exercise the joints of Patients suffering from gout, 168 00:11:12,586 --> 00:11:15,931 Rheumatic disorders, Or other afflictions. 169 00:11:15,931 --> 00:11:18,758 The modern stationary bike Is all about helping people 170 00:11:18,758 --> 00:11:21,413 Stay fit to prevent illnesses. 171 00:11:25,206 --> 00:11:29,103 On this stationary bike, Magnets linked to the flywheel 172 00:11:29,103 --> 00:11:32,793 Create tension that causes The cyclist to push harder, 173 00:11:32,793 --> 00:11:37,275 Making the workout Truly an uphill battle. 174 00:11:37,275 --> 00:11:41,310 Production starts with Steel tubing for the base. 175 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:44,379 A probe locates the center Of the tubing. 176 00:11:44,379 --> 00:11:47,827 This reference point allows A computerized laser cutter 177 00:11:47,827 --> 00:11:52,068 To find the exact spots To cut assembly holes. 178 00:11:52,068 --> 00:11:53,931 With the assembly holes cut, 179 00:11:53,931 --> 00:11:57,620 The laser slices the tubing To the correct length. 180 00:11:57,620 --> 00:12:00,034 An automated system Retrieves the part 181 00:12:00,034 --> 00:12:04,275 And transfers it To a holding area. 182 00:12:04,275 --> 00:12:07,000 A worker inserts screws In
