Alex,

I agree. They spend more time on the company executives and making the stocks than on anything else. I also found it interesting that they say, "One of the methods used" and that the parts are in the furnace for "3 to 4 hours".

I think that is true in general for these early documentaries. They never reveal their entire process. Still the glimpses they do provide are educational.

I encourage any one interested to purchase this DVD from the source mentioned above. I found the images of forging the actions very interesting.
