This silent, color film footage - almost certainly shot for an industrial film - takes the viewer on a tour of a Honeywell manufacturing plant. It seems likely that this plant was in Golden Valley, Minnesota and that the footage likely dates to the late 1960s or the 1970s. It may show work at Honeywell Aerospace. The film depicts male and female engineers and employees at work across departments, assembling and testing electronic packages. The film lacks descriptors, so it is hard to ascertain what the employees are working on exactly, however, it is clear they are using automated machinery as well as working on projects with transistorized electrical circuit boards and control panels. This is likely because in the beginning of the 1970s, Honeywell began to focus on process controls, with the company merging their computer operations with GE's information systems in 1970, and later acquiring GE's process control business.
Honeywell Int'l Inc. is now headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It primarily operates in four areas of business: aerospace, building technologies, performance materials and technologies (PMT), and safety and productivity solutions (SPS).
Honeywell company logo on facade of corporate building/ manufacturing plant; Other details of property (0:10-3:45). American flag waves atop flagpole (3:10). Female Honeywell employees wearing all white lab uniforms sit in a row hunched over microscopes; Male supervisor in blue protective outfit observes the women at work (3:55). Various close-up shots of one of the female employees as she does meticulous work using microscope, lab coat reads “Head Dept.” (4:37). Camera zooms into employee’s hands that appear to be using small pliers to sort copper plates (5:38). Another department of female employees sitting at individual works citations with bright lamps, use pliers to cut, organize wires (6:41). Close-up of one of the women using soldering tool, pliers to weld and model various electrical cables on electronic circuit (8:26). Male supervisor looks over the work of one of the other employees at another work station, pair appear to be working on a circuit board (10:35). Another team of engineers analyze/ examine inner circuit board of what could be a Honeywell keyboard (11:18). Two employees, one in lab coat and one with cigarette in hand, observe as automated “Millyer” branded machine cuts out exact geometric shapes (squares, circles) to scale on piece of plastic likely used as base for circuit board or another Honeywell manufactured product (12:47). Man in lab coat adjusts nobs, dials on control panel; CNC type machine precisely carves out shapes (13:23). The two men examine the finished product, man in button-up shirt uses fingers to test, examine various parts of the plastic board (15:41). C/u saw/ spinning tip used by CNC machine (16:52). Shot of machine’s switch panel with various control knobs, levers (18:09). Magnetic tape machine likely used for computer data storage; 1970s Honeywell produced computers i.e. Honeywell H-1640 Series (18:32). Two Honeywell business executives in suit look over charted data displayed on wall, probably a diagram for a transistorized black box. Engineer uses pencil to write in data points (21:32). Interior mechanical apparatus of Honeywell product, square shape with various colored wires running throughout; vibration test of this black box takes place (23:47). Engineer wearing Honeywell branded lab coat stands in front of panel with dials, knobs (26:04). Close-up of engineer’s hand as he adjusts acceleration level knob; Watches arrow move on what appears to be a volume unit meter (27:15). Male and female engineer in Honeywell branded lab coats sit side by side at work station and conduct quality control tests on transistorized circuit boards with resistors (28:16). Close-ups two different models of Honeywell printed circuit boards (29:30). Film ends (33:02).
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

What a creepy Intro.
I guess they lost the sound track.
What a long strange trip it has been. Heat shribk house wired from the bottom around 10 10
Nine 48 close up. Check it b4 U wrex it.
It's because this is where Papa kept Eleven. 😔
LSD is a hell of a drug.
This is the old Honeywell Aerospace plant in Golden Valley, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. (The name of the company was originally Minneapolis-Honeywell.) I'm not sure how anyone could think that giant field of frosted turf and Christmas tree landscaping at 1:28 could be anywhere near Phoenix, Arizona!
That's interesting. We want to be accurate so am hoping you can verify -- the canister this came in was marked "Honeywell Phoenix".
@@PeriscopeFilm As a teenager with a new license and my own car, I used to cruise this neighborhood and the entire area during these time periods. I can attest to the Golden Valley location.
@@richburnham7326 thanks we did make the change / fix -- after looking on Google and seeing a photo of the very identifiable water tower! Glad we were able to fix it.
@@PeriscopeFilm Well done as always by you folks!
The inconvenient placing of the PF timestamp is frustrating. Blocks most of the handwork...
Wow, why marry the video with acid jazz?? I worked in this field coupled with the music I'm tripping back to the 1970s
Oh man, look at those chicks on the assembly, doing their work while packing diamond rings and pearl necklaces like they're on a date. Those were the days. Nowdays assembly looks more like slavery
Those supervisors sure got close to those ladies.
Great archive video. It’s not a documentary, but a collection of filmed scenes that was matched with audio later.
Looks like raw footage ready to be inserted in a documentary.
Great thanks!
@5:38 Honeywell. Creators of the world's most ridiculously tiny filing cabinet. 😜
Yes appears to be cop pEr files. How boutz that intro with the tall standing trees.
Its only 8 gigs
Exterior shots look like an area of Littleton, Colorado (now called Centennial).
They did shock and vibration testing 60 years ago. I would have guessed that was introduced in the 90s.
No, and it does go back further than that. I recall seeing a video of vibration testing done for some WW2-era hardware. It was all mechanical back in those days, and some of that kind of stuff was being done for cars in the '20s, too.
What kind of dope chose that back ground music!! Fire him immediately!
There's no sound on the film. Do you have a volume control?
12:07 The first 'Operation' game sweeps through the staff at Honeywell.
Guided missile or satellite stuff.
Gives me vibes of a Floating city in the clouds. I am One strange Fella ARG. IN tina.
