SLAC: Fabricating the Linear Accelerator

[@LinearBob]

This video is a beautiful example of both a serious scientific construction project and industrial film making. Thank you to both the documentary film makers who made this film, and to the folks who preserved this film and then made it available here.

I have been an aficionado and and fascinated by both electronics and mechanical technology all my life, reading multiple magazines and books on both subjects, as well as others, and science in general. I have never, ever, seen anything like this video. Thank you very much.

Excellent. Thanks for uploading. Favorite Quote: " There are only 239 to go. "

Wish my father was still around to tell me what it was like, again, to be there. He might have recognized a few people that were in this production and tell me what it took to make it happen.

What else do you want to know? The facility is still in operation today. I can probably answer some questions.

I can’t believe I’ve watched the whole thing and even enjoyed it

[@MaxKoschuh]

absolutely amazing. Waveguide tube production in 1967.

I came to this video after learning about the Rockwell Retro Encabulator. I’m figuring it all out.
