Abstract
Sponsored film created by Goldsholl & Associates for Western Electric. The film opens with an account of the discovery of metal alloys and the subsequent evolution of metallurgical science. Cutting to the present, the narrator discusses how this understanding of metal alloys has been employed in the creation of various Western Electric products ("magnets, magnetic shields, audio transformers, core rings, and relay parts"). The film then follows the production line processes involved in creating some of these devices.
