    As I watch this wonderful video with my newly acquired 1904 Elgin 18 in hand, I wonder what kind of mind invents, assembles and coordinates the modes of production required to produce the pocket watch? Absolute genius!

  • @freepirate4470
    @freepirate4470 2 місяці тому

    Amazing video. The destruction of America's industries started happening a long time ago. Elgin was required to make parts for the war and not allowed to make watches for market. This allowed Swiss imports to come in and take over the market. (what else is new, right?). After the war much of Elgin's equipment was worn out and they had to now compete with the Swiss to regain their marketshare. Required to do their duty while the Swiss did nothing. Did the "government for the people in the land of the free and home of the brave" do anything to help Americans? Nope. Same story as today.

    Thank you for this wonderful show again. Hopefully they will all be well archived, because they are all treasures of competence and skill from the start. Great work! I'm always thrilled. And I always look forward to the next show. These films never get old or boring. Hearing Harold's granddaughter talk about her wonderful Granddad is something really wonderful.

    Well, I can never really thank you guys enough for helping get me through the pandemic. It was a very mentally taxing & challenging time, much as it was for great many other people. The SCWP reignited my childhood love for "funny old movies", introduced me to new favourites that I continue to love & educated me on all those amazing unsung heroes of the silent cinema screen. All your hard work is so greatly appreciated - Steve from the UK
