RCA Color CRT Manufacture
Someone has kindly posted a series of very interesting early RCA films on YouTube. Here is one from the mid sixties providing an overview of the tube manufacture.

Most complete film on color tube manufacture I have seen. I was surprised, though, by how many potential contamination points had workers without caps or hairnets - even in a so-called "clean room."

Could you please list some more of the other early RCA films on YouTube? This one on CRT manufacture was outstanding.
I once toured Video Display Corporation's B&W CRT rebuilding facility and was likewise amazed at the possible contamination during the rebuilding process. I guess it was clean where it mattered. Every CRT I got from them was a top performer. Last edited by Tom9589; 01-02-2021 at 11:52 AM. |

Awesome film, Map out: 1000 New Holland avenue, 17601 for the building at 2:40 there by the RR tracks running both east and west, still in use as commercial property.
Often, obits from the Intelligencer often mention the retirees' without much more than "RCA". Many local folks worked there until the GE regime parsed out what they wanted and sold to Thomsen then Buhrle. Im still amazed at how few old RCA color sets turn up here.

Hmm, the audio drops out and comes back about 90% of the way through. That's probably the first time I've seen a contentID match on an old film like that.

I grew up in Baltimore, MD and Lancaster was a stone's throw away. Gosh, had I only know about this "Back in the day". I imagine they had some kind of tours at one time.

Very good film. Looks like women were used a great deal in the electronics industry for delicate work. Maybe they had better patience when it came to detailed work than men. Sony factory film I’ve seen was similar with mostly women working the assembly line of installing the components on the pc boards.

I do know, for example, that Motorola and Rauland/Zenith treated some parts of their CRT production as trade secrets, as did others. A simple example: the speed at which the CRT faceplate was rotated as the phosphor slurry was applied. Last edited by old_tv_nut; 01-03-2021 at 10:06 AM. |

But they shut down that tour and now you only get what I will call a virtual tour. Guinness Brewery in Dublin did the same thing. I was very fortunate to have gone through that brewery years ago when you actually toured the plant. May I go OT, please? I know that many of us live technology and some are pilots. I have toured the Pipe Aircraft Factory in Vero Beach, Florida two times. It is great! I even got to talk to a guy who was working there when our plane came down the line and he would have worked on our starboard wing. (The pandemic has closed down tours right now) I love tours. |
