American Tempo is an industrial documentary detailing the manufacture of General Electric’s Mazda lamps and various other light bulbs.
The film opens with multiple exposures showing machine and man whirling together, bars of the song “America” are heard mixed in with stirring stock music. Titles dissolve to shots of shipyards, factories and railroads as narration pronounces the USA the leading industrial nation: “Make it better, make it cheaper, make it faster, that is the American tempo.” Assuming a low-angle view alla Soviet Cinema, a parade of workers stroll in front of a factory (1:01). A new movement of Eisensteinian montage follows with industrial machinery and workers in action set to the beat of classical music. The narrator builds a case for the importance of light to promote efficiency and safety, finishing with machines of war-tanks, bombers, and battleships. The film cuts to a studio movie set in order to show the difference proper lighting can make on the clarity and impact of the object lit, the example a vase of flowers (3:34).
The scene shifts to G.E. laboratories in Nela Park, Cleveland Ohio (4:11), dissolving to workshop interiors containing equipment for lamp testing and manufacture (4:48). An animated diagram shows the evolution of G.E. Mazda bulbs, cost and efficiency from 1907-1940 (5:07). The parts of incandescent bulbs are described through a short piece of animation (5:43). Raw materials are discussed- mines, factories and chemical plants are shown. A machine that “turns out many thousands of glass bulbs every hour” is shown (7:08) and contrasted to lamps being blown by hand (7:24). Flare and filament construction are detailed, the filament referred to as “the heart of every Mazda lamp.” Filaments are shown being pressed and refined (9:04) to become 1/3 the thickness of a human hair (9:51). Filament coiling for brighter bulbs is shown and discussed. Machine assembly for stamping the flare closed around the element is shown in action. The bulb’s gas chamber is shown in extreme close-up, next to the point of a pencil (12:59). The inner framework of the lamp is discussed and shown through animation (13:40). A woman in a suit-jacket and stylish 1940s hairstyle is shown positioning bulbs in a sealing machine by hand (14:41). Logo stamping is detailed. The machine process of injecting the gas and sealing off the bulbs is discussed in detail with some animation (15:05, 15:52). A non-G.E. testing lab is shown with a large variety of equipment. G.E.’s Nela Park testing lab is shown with racks of glowing bulbs being life-tested (18:26) and placed in futuristic looking photometers. One of the more remarkable testing machines simulates train movement (18:59). The various purposes for specialty lamps are shown in montage through a distinctive iris shape-medical equipment, tanning beds, flashlights, etc. Fluorescent lamps are mentioned as an innovation. The film finishes with another Eisensteinian montage showing well-lit factories with workers in action. Once again, bars of “America” are heard as the film moves to sweeping views of nature and end titles.
Mazda was a trademarked name registered by General Electric (GE) in 1909 for incandescent light bulbs. The name was used from 1909 through 1945 in the United States by GE and Westinghouse. Mazda brand light bulbs were made for decades after 1945 outside the US. The company chose the name due to its association with Ahura Mazda, the transcendental and universal God of Zoroastrianism whose name means light of wisdom in the Avestan language.

A lot of people today wouldn't believe this America once existed.
It just wasn't meant to last. Modern comforts over 70-80 years will do that
Same in UK
Yep. It's now the East Asian glory days. Maybe someday later it could be South Asia, who knows? Things always change. Nothing lasts forever.
Man they made better documentaries in the 40's than today.
Great film. Fun fact: the bulbs installed on the New York City subway cars shown in this video had left handed screw-in threads. Which would render them useless in household applications. In effect, a crude but effective anti-theft device.
Jeffrey Ornstein great observation
I don't understand
@@genegardner688 standard home lighting has a right hand thread, righty tightly.
Was not aware. Thanks for sharing.
My Father worked for Canadian General Electric in the 50s, 60s and 70s. In the 70s they created left hand threaded Christmas Bulbs for the Public Utility Sector because of theft. It was a good deterent.
I'm 25 years old and this is soo cool! I love anything vintage and American made!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah, cause nothing made since the 90's is anymore. And even then a lot was already outsourced ( since the late 60's).
Love these old industrial films. Back when old glory was the manufacturing powerhouse of the world.
WWII.
I helped clean out the Westinghouse Mazda lamp factory in Milwaukee. It’s being made into lofts now. Have a few items from ww2 era.
Fascinating film. The genius of engineers in the 20's, 30's and 40's still astound me. Thanks for posting.
I'm baffled by how we have allowed our politicians to allow our manufacturing industry to goto shite.
I dont blame dems or repubs. I blame we the people, but I remember hearing Bill Clinton announce " we are not going to measure our wealth using gpd anymore because we are becoming a nation of service providers "
I remember thinking " what a lying pos"
They actually cared about the final product back then
@Louis Edwards You're right but what's wrong with your keyboard?
@Louis Edwards Haha Carry on, sir 🤣
1960's and early 70's were the last years of genius engineers in U.S.
Our schools and colleges are pathetic now.
Remembering Science class videos. Other kids were bored stiff but manufacturing and automation always fascinated me. I am retired now but taught robotics for many years and still marvel at mans past and present genius. We take for granted the army of people that work to make are lives better.
Worked.
When things were made in the USA. People were working. Making a living. Economy was booming. Not like today's products
made in China.
Oh the economy is still booming... It just isn't ours anymore
Do you honestly think these plants would be allowed to operate (in Canada or America) today with all the pollution they produce? Now it's China's problem. This is definitely part of the reason everything manufactured in heavy industrial settings is there and not here. The other part is greed. It's high cost for low prices..
@@SteveWhiteEEAMPS fkng treehuggers 🙄
It’s post-industrial economy for you.
People are still working and making a living and not paying insane prices for that Made in the USA light bulb.
When the narrator talks about "wagon trains crossing the prairies 100 years ago", he was referring to the 1840s! Just 100 years before America demonstrated her incredible industrial might during WW II in the 1940s, which made victory possible.
Ah the memories. Some of this is most likely Ohio Lamp in Warren Ohio. It was active from 1911-2014. Some of the standard groups shown here were still active to the end. Some were converted to IMG automated groups in the 80's and early 90's and ran much faster. The operators loading lamps and transfering them were replaced by automated transfers. This increased lamp production up to 2600 lamps per hour on the fastest machines. The fastest indexing machines that were ever located at that plant were in the 3600 lamps per hour range. They were called A511 machines and were rumored to have run as high as 5400 lamps per hour. I miss the mechanical symphony that was Ohio Lamp Plant.
Wish I had this fascination with engineering when younger and in school.
Thank's to the light bulb, we can work deep into the night. The light bulb replaced kerosene which replaced whale oil.
@Group JW Productions yeah, mix it with 70% hydrogen peroxide ;)
don't forget the gas lamps!
And I replaced your dad
Great film, many thanks for sharing.
Enlightening 😏
🤦♂️
Today we still use sealed beam lamps for airplanes from GE like 4559X for landing light duty.
We STILL should be using them for CARS.. So many dim-assed "composite" lights due to lens yellowing on '90s cars on the road now. A 1975 car will have better headlights. "composite" head lights being allowed in the mid 1980s was a BACKWARDS step to 1939!
Dad retired from G.E. in 1985, than there was a plant shutdown. He built lightbulb machines, than help move stuff down south to the non-union land. Than those boys got the axe too, check where’s it made now, America was a better place back than, with way less prisons and more factories 🏭
An old retired GE engineer told me unions demanding higher and higher wages and more and more benefits are what drove the company mad to relentlessly pursue lower labor costs, from buying machines to reduce the number of human workers, to manufacturing machines to replace humans, to eventually outsourcing to countries who’s costs were cheaper than operating the automated machines. You can tell by the narrator’s words along with tone how excited the company was about replacing humans with machines at the time. It was tough and saddening to listen to. The company was no longer proud of its skilled workers.
@@TheSaltyExplorer In 1950 the USA production was 50% of the worldwide goods and 70% of automobiles, it’s mind blowing, well driving through those rust belt areas now war zones, just don’t make sense, it’s puff gone!
I came from a family that had MANY members employed by various WESTINGHOUSE companies. 50 years ago it would have been blasphemy for me to even WATCH this film! But Neither company is what they once were. That rivalry was over a long time ago. I bought a GE fridge 20 years ago (still running perfect) My mother would have been appalled! Like buying Hunt's Ketchup in Pittsburgh, Or Pepsi in Atlanta, If you did that, You didn't ADMIT it. But that was then. 🤷♂️
Nobody buys Hunt’s ketchup on purpose, that $hit tastes like tomato paste… Heinz FTW
Very interesting. Thanks for uploading. Thumbs up! :)

Fluorescent lighting in machine rooms sometimes could lead to accidents when the 120 Hz flicker of the lamp (100 Hz in England), would cause a strobe effect, making some rotating machine parts appear to be standing still.
They used stroboscopic corrected ballast for those applications.
3 phase
Of course now the ballasts are high frequency. Guess it could still be a thing, but less likely. If so LED's would have the same effect.
@@roddycreswell8613 please elaborate.
Induction causes voltage and current to be out of phase, current lags behind the voltage. Capacitance causes the current to lead the voltage. This can be used create the lead lag ballast, the two lamps are out of phase with each other causing the lamp flicker to be less apparent.
True story. If your stoplight fails on your GM Tahoe, the LED bulbs inside can't be replaced. You must buy the entire plastic unit at a cost of $725 . You get $100 for the undamaged core, if you return it to the dealer.
BTW LEDs aren't a bulb, they aren't meant to be replaced. They normally last 30,000 hours or more so you don't need to replace them.
@@tomtom1541 The question is, how often does your TV or lamp get in a fender bender? There is ZERO need for an over priced stoplight unit in a vehicle, when the traditional $2 light bulbs, like still operating perfectly in my 2000 Ford Expedition with 141,000 miles on it, still work just fine. Once the word gets out how expensive these LED units are, they might become a popular target for thieves, since they would be a lot easier to steal that a catalytic converter, and could be resold online at a huge return on risk for the crook.
LED headlights might be an exception. Although I read somewhere that some newer vehicles using them have been recalled because they were too bright for oncoming traffic on unlit 2 lane highways.
I have only LED lights in my home, except for lights I seldom use. One just stopped working in my garage. Being retired, I've got 3 giant flat screen TVs stretching across my living room. We shall see if they get anywhere near 30k hours on them before they start failing.
@@tomtom1541 The diodes may outlast the life of the vehicle but their drivers and boards sure as hell don’t. I see plenty of modern day vehicles where a string of LEDs or even all of them on one entire side of the vehicle are burnt out … oh, my apologies to the pedants, I mean, “failed”. But do they design the lamps to allow replacement of the control circuitry independently of the entire assembly? No, because it’s cheaper to make one giant stop/turn/tail/reverse assembly that is welded and glued together, that you toss into the landfill and replace for $725 instead of fixing with a 75 cent bulb from Walmart.
One thing this highlights for me is our fear today about automation and people who believe it will end all human work. Listen to your grandparents/ and then watch a few films like this and you realize automation has been going on for hundreds of years. The machines in this video replaced someone's job, but just helped create others while making stuff cheaper. My grandparents told me 'ah people pushed all that old 'the machines will take all the jobs!' stuff back in the 40's. Then it was 'the computers will take all the jobs!' Today because of the natural evolution of processes that have been going on since the industrial revolution we think ...once again... it's the end humans doing jobs!
Oh don’t worry there’s still jobs... oh shoot it’s 7:30 I better jump in my cubicle and start typing. There’s jobs and then there’s good jobs.
Beautiful God bless you and protect you ❤❤❤
Fascinating film....But sad to think that today nearly all of our American lamp factories are now located in China.
There has been a factory in Hungary making bulbs for YEARS also…….
Well, that factory in Hungary is no more .
At the end of 2022, Tungsram liquidated its assets. GE lamps that were once made in Tungsram factories are outsourced to China...
$.13 cents in 1940 is $2.48 in 2021.
In the 1950's you traded in your blown bulbs for new ones for free where you paid your Edison bill.
"Diamond Dies" is a good name for a band.
Background music at beginning is the third movement of Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony.
Awesome!
Everything was made out of metal back then. It must have been exciting to live thru the mid 1900's.
TV's took 3 minutes to warm up enough to get a picture.
@@mikezylstra7514 right? If they only knew you could watch high definition video in the palm of your hand and not get burnt.
Thanks for this video like
American exceptionalism when it was believable
From a time when we produced things other than debt, lies & war.
Yeah long before stupid stuff like the internet, television, CNC machining jet engines and LED lighting. So much better back then before we became such unimaginative losers.
@@Telly187 Lol he didn't mention anyone specific, I guess those things reminded you of someone. Every president in the past 30 years has worsened these things, except Trump was maybe less warmongering than the rest in practice.
@@TheGeosto
Lack of imagination isn't the problem ino.
It's lack of balls to demand our representatives
represent we the people and it's a lack of unity needed to fight tyrants.
We are too easily divided while the tyrants stand united against us
Great film

Incredible manufacturing of the time. 120 years later it's all obsolete.
Ummm the 1940s were NOT 120 years ago. (At least not YET).
@@jamesslick4790 Yes sorry, You know how temperamental Tardis's can be.

Back in the days when we were a manufacturing giant. Now it's made in China.
by GE.
@@davidschwartz5127sad but true, now the Ghetto surrounds the old Plant dad retired from at G.E.
Our country can't manufacture anything quality anymore.
@DSW22 When General Motors shut down the Lordstown assembly plant in Ohio, there was applause at Wall Street. Capitalistic greed dude. Not everything is left-wing conspiracy.

It's simply magic
The video does kinda waive the flag a bit too heavily handed'ly at the end, but since it is after all a war (WWII) industrial production film, that's to be expected. And just an amazing one at that!
If one just thinks about it for the moment, the design expertise and precision manufacture of just all the industrial equipment alone (let alone the light bulb production process's of manufacture) that had to first be created in order to be able to mass produce a incandescent light bulb, it's just mind boggling.
That's what impresses me about manufacturing, things are made by machines but then those machines have to be designed to perform their tasks and be made themselves.
@@kiwitrainguy, I fully agree. Whenever I watch one of these type of video's I always think likewise, esp. when I see manufacturing activities involving very heavy presses and other heavy foundry tooling or forming equipment in operation. I always wonder who made that equipment and how was that tooling made.
The government retirement of incandescent bulbs is short-sighted , IMO . The surplus heat ,true enough , is counter-productive indoors in the summer , but is beneficial in the winter months where it helps warm the room . We stopped making vacuum tubes, for the most part, and now must rely upon Russia and China for those which musicians use in instrument amplifiers .
And those Russian & Chinese Vacuum Tubes (aka 'Valves' in the UK ) aren't cheap. I wanted to upgrade the 5 Tubes in my Blues Jr 'clone' but the cost of doing all 5 at once is holding me back, so I'll likely do the 3 Pre-Amp & 2 Power Tubes separately. Thanks Dems for shipping American jobs to China! (Let's Go Brandon!)
The heat from incandescent bulbs isn't enough to heat a room plus the bulbs are on the ceiling (usually) and the heat just stays there.
Switching to mini-fluorescent bulbs is the mistake as they are designed to be turned on and left on. If you flick on the light in a room at night for a couple of minutes to grab something and then turn it off again, if it's a mini-fluorescent bulb it'll shorten its life. Better to go from incandescent straight to LED bulbs.
⭕ General Electric I love you... the best Made In U.S.A.🗽
Helps with the military,also!
Well as a pair of Machine Lamp restoration guys this film is a great one for us to enjoy, we love our lamps they changed on the machinery over the years even keeping with the styles of their times like the 1940's, 1950's even the 1960's and 1970's curves ans style not soon repeated. GREAT machine tools shared in this wonderful film as well as the evolution ease of use of lighting in the world of home and business.
Thank you for sharing, have a bright day. Lance & Patrick.
What is a "Machine Lamp" restoration guy?
@@JDAbelRN Well we are micromachine rebuilders for brands like Barker Milling machines, Levin, Derbyshire, G. Boley watchmaker lathes and while doing these rebuilds for our own workshop we restore the machine lamps that are date/period to match the vintage machinery, so that is what it is too be a Machine Lamp restoration guy, and boring as it is, it pays really well, if you have the lamps and such. Thank you for your question. Lance & Patrick.
@@ActiveAtom thank you for taking the time to explain.
Now the tag is like make it worst ,make it expensive and make it slow
make it better, faster and cheaper . . . trouble is, you only get to pick two!
better, faster, cheaper ... oh, and inexpensive too!
Microprocessors kind of break that rule.
I can't help but watch these vids and imagine that people of that era assumed that there would be flying cars in everyone's driveway soon enough.
Watching The Jetsons in 1961 we thought that by now we'd all be living in structures that look like Seattle's space needle.
This film in enlightening
muito interessante, parabéns 😅.
I followed it all but the double coiling of the filament.
How did Mazda later become a Japanese car brand?
I was wondering that
that's not the same Mazda, the american one's name was based on the zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda
In some way.... Those people are better than us... Hardworking... Focused and truly inspired to do something good for mankind. 😊
I really enjoy these historical films. However I so wish Periscope films would move or remove the chyron which in almost all these films blocks the viewer from being able to see important information (5:28 for one example).
When American exceptionalism was still alive and well. Now….it is just a shell of its former self.
Just wondering in 2021, have humans discovered all the knowledge or there is something still there we just can’t see yet and waiting for another genius to be born to figure it out. I would go with the latter.
@ab
The timing of the technology being available at same time as materials and ideas come together and form the perfect product that is useful and/ or needed. War and politics influence ideas and the production of new products too. Of course necessity is ultimately the mother of invention. 👍😉
At 8 minutes he says "here the girls are testing the bulbs for imperfections" judging from the video women were a big part of the light bulb Workforce.
It looks like this was made during WW2 when a lot of the men were in the military so more women went in to the workforce. Of course being a less physically demanding job women would gravitate towards it.
Ever heard of the Phoebus Cartel? It's a fascinating part of the history of electric lighting that GE was very much a part of: spectrum.ieee.org/tech-history/dawn-of-electronics/the-great-lightbulb-conspiracy
"The cartel took its business of shortening the lifetime of bulbs every bit as seriously as earlier researchers had approached their job of lengthening it. Each factory bound by the cartel agreement-and there were hundreds, including GE’s numerous licensees throughout the world-had to regularly send samples of its bulbs to a central testing laboratory in Switzerland. There, the bulbs were thoroughly vetted against cartel standards. If any factory submitted bulbs lasting longer or shorter than the regulated life span for its type, the factory was obliged to pay a fine."
Yes, the light bulb manufacturers had a meeting in the 1920s and came up with the 1000 hour standard length for the incandescent bulb.
And yet the manufacturers don't like it when their workers organise.
It's strange that everyone that is shown here would be at least around 20 years of age making them 100 years today.
Everyone in this video are dead maybe expect the children that are 90.
People that age in mid century rarely lived to 90. Most all are pushing up daisies nowadays. Poor things - they missed the lockdowns.
Ahhh, back when America bred MEN!!
Amen to that.
American are genius people they build complicated jet engine in boing, well done, Americans genius
And GE said LET THERE BE LIGHT
Ése es mi modelo de País 😃!!
All this amazed me until I remembered of programmed obsolescence.
Did anyone notice the Mazda electric name on the side of the truck, and it being mentioned in the narrative several times. Don't know exactly why the name was there during those early days but it's kind of ironic that it was also the name of a Japanese company that made aircraft engines i believe during the war, and headquartered again ironically in the city of Nagasaki........!
'Funny' and tragically how things turn out.
🤔😖😪👍🇺🇲🪖
Of course you know the light bulb came before the car? Mazda was a trademarked name registered by General Electric (GE) in 1909 for incandescent light bulbs. The name was used from 1909 through 1945 in the United States by GE and Westinghouse. Mazda brand light bulbs were made for decades after 1945 outside the US. The company chose the name due to its association with Ahura Mazda, the transcendental and universal God of Zoroastrianism whose name means light of wisdom in the Avestan language.
In 1909 the Mazda name was created for the tungsten filament light bulb. GE sold bulbs under this trademark starting in 1909. GE promoted the mark as identifying tungsten filament bulbs with predictable performance and life expectancy. GE also licensed the Mazda name, socket sizes, and tungsten filament technology to other manufacturers to establish a standard for lighting. Bulbs were soon sold by many manufacturers with the Mazda name licensed from GE, including British Thomson-Houston in the United Kingdom, Toshiba in Japan, and GE's chief competitor Westinghouse.

Back when we did it all and didn't need imported crap!! and people actually worked !
Great film. Fun fact: these are not meth pipes but rather oil burners
Long before safety mattered. No safety glasses working around glass and machines. Lol.
It was not that long ago when people ran their tractors on the farm in business suits as well
And God said, “let there be general electric & there was General Electric.
And God also said, “Good Enough”.

LEDs are great but don’t forget that they are brought to you with slave labor in China.
Most of the workers are not wearing safety glasses!
Saving energy simply by turning on more lights. Sounds reasonable to me.
Depends on whether you are a bean counter and only measure the amount of electricity used per lightbulb, or you are the company president and measure the total productive output of the company. If you can get a 30% production boost with a 40% reduction in mistakes and rework by spending 15% more on electricity for better lighting, then you are saving a lot of energy.

The chemical in the fluorescent tubes is white phosphorus, same chemical used in white phosphorus grenades in the military which eats through just about anything
They should have stuck to making light bulbs cuz now all they make is junk
7:52, 10:41 recycling is nothing new, kids!
Can you say "Planned obsolesce"?
Billji's efforts all good yet the reality is that earlier generations spearheading entireindustrial developments have had their good years in it and now saturation is fast approaching to coming generations, which wouldnt know what to do if measures are not taken now... and perpare them for eventualities of world without fuel .. Asia and other so called poorly kept continents as it is have to make do with less and then problems got more compunded with dastardly currency macht instead of being fair and just, then came the wave of extreme foolish excess's and extrvagancies frittering of resources rather to pay attention and do something about it... which has started now, but pace is very slow, so called deciding leaderships are sitting on making speedy decisions to start on, when you actually know all of that can be speeded up with number of population sitting idle and restructuring regenration reforming can be done and situations contained before all of sudden everything just goes off radar so to speak with fuel first and then rest everything follows....
...and then along came the Phoebus cartel
Interesting info, thanks. I'd never heard of the Phoebus Cartel.
I wish we go back to those days when manufactures were hiring mostly women for hard work and not only as secretaries..
World war II meant that many men were drafted into the military.
The men that were left were working heavy jobs in steel mills, oil fields and the like.
Today, almost all of the jobs we see here (machine operators) are completely automated.

Uv lights for health ???🤔🥵
Yes, certain wavelengths of light can help babies get rid of bilirubin, which causes jaundice, indicated by yellowing of the skin. My company sold special fluorescent lamps specifically designed to do that.

What is the purpose of the stupid time counter overlay on all your videos? It blocks the view and as such I stop watching.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

I'm sorry, but I'm unable to watch your videos. Seems all very interesting but I can't get past the very annoying and distracting banner and clock thing. Maybe lose the clock thing and put your banner/advertisement in a corner somewhere, and smaller.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.
5:15 I have one of those bulbs that still lights up .
15:40 wonder how many kids say, “ what’s a Ripley’s “ ?
Wonderful bit of history, except for all the obnoxious, patriotic propaganda .
