At mark 7:00 is the steam turban and its components including a condenser, boilers, and so on.
Another vast source electrical energy is water power at mark 7:35. Again engineers lead the way, they design the dams; also design and construct the powerful hydraulic turbines and generators at mark 7:50.

At mark 14:40 are power transformers which are also designs of engineers. At mark 15:30 is a montage of construction, manufacturing of tools, building of trains, automobiles and ships. At mark 15:58 is a forge shop, Bob sees finished tractors at mark 16:48.
Bob's father explains how engineering helps to supply food tat mark 17:00. At mark 17:24 are mills.

Allis Chalmers was a giant!
neal k we were almost exclusively AC on our farm.. lots of equipment still in use.. great products.
Born and raised in West Allis myself. Both my Aunt and Mother worked there. Sad to see all that is gone. Sucks really.
I was just watching a video a guy made of the engine room of the record breaking ocean liner the SS United States, the gigantic turbines said "Allis Chalmers" on them.
The good old days when PCB's were safe.
Chemicals made life better for all don't you disrespect that's why we have bed bugs and other pests now because the tree huggers made them obsolete in fear of the environment I'm in my late fifties and I used to eat paint chips all the time and broke open thermometers just to play with the mercury maybe misspelled and the smell of leaded gas was like roses to me and I'm not dysfunctional that I know or need a time out because I'm artistic and I'm sure I'll get heat but everyone needs to be pampered and there's always a cause for their dysfunctional behavior today's society has no accountability it's always the blame is to be laid at other than myself perfect example McDonald's paid off a lawsuit because girl spilled hot coffee in her lap wow and if I trip on your side walk because I'm a water head you better have your insurance up to date most states mandate that I must wear a seat belt or risk being fined apparently that's where the accountability comes into affect I'm not responsible enough to look out for my well being so I need some help remember its not me its my surroundings that made me this way and there's nothing worse than when I get to the grocery store and the scooter's battery is dead I'm gonna have to walk hell no
This was back when they werent afraid to show you that everything didnt just materialize out of thin air. Too bad so many dont realize what it takes to have all the modern conveniences.

AC was so much more than farm equipment. Hard to believe such a giant is all gone today. 😢
