How a color picture tube (CRT) is manufactured.

Bit of a weird intro… I was like “what’s this BS? I’m turning off if this intro is too long”

Also WHAT a dingy, depressing place to work. Well it’s either that or the film crew didn’t light it properly, and that hideous music… wow… One has to really want to watch it to get over that cheesy, ghastly racket.

Thats how I feel about the majority of music of the last 15 or so years, it's like everyone uses the same template and just adds different, inane lyrics!

World was a different place back in the day of this Philips film.  Philips was always a bit strange though, I know, I used to work for them!

Such a documentary type of film might have been recorded on actual film and later transferred to some other medium for broadcasting. It was a different world back then. No cell phone with a HD camera to make the "crappy" movies you can see on youtube.

I actually liked the documentary for it's informational quality. Much better then what you see in "How it's made" for instance. And not that half arsed formatting you see in reality TV like "Border Patrol" where everything is chopped up in little bits and parts are repeated because you might have forgotten it in the three minutes the other bit was played.

Have worked for Philips too, long ago. For the business telephone exchange group. Was reeled in under the wrong pretenses. The manager sold it as a very technical job, were as it was just making the extension number programming for the exchanges sold. Left for a better job, both technical and money wise, within a year.

RJSV:
   Yes, thank you for posting that.
   I DID notice, (since the audio-visual qualities were mentioned), sounded like the audio had those periodic little 'crackles' like a PHONOGRAPH RECORD ??? Or, perhaps the audio track, on the older film copy, exhibits a similar low grade 'crackle'.
Either way, thanks.

BrianHG:
Even with such docus, and technical historical docs and formulas for the phosphor coatings, if we ever had to downgrade to CRTs, to re-engineer the manufacturing plant and procedures illustrated in this video would take over a decade, maybe 2, just to build the first one which can then be mass-manufactured.
