Its a very very refreshing set of films. Brings me to realize that production is not only a machines job. Even today, in 2024, production is a combination of humans and machine. Craftsmanship might be a luxury in 2060 as well, as it was in 1960, and is in 2024. And that it takes a team, a sincere team and sincere effort to bring out a beautiful even if its a simple product. I dont know if people's ego was as large back then as it is right now or maybe maybe not. But it was a different time. Tooth brushes should be added to this list as well. Long story short. This was a great compilation

Flocking Hell I love that wallpaper! Fun fact: After 1970 it was a planning requirement that EVERY Indian restaurant in England had to have used at least one dozen rolls of Plum-Flock paper in the dining area! Also, this flock paper had to be able to resist sixty minutes of vigorous rubbing from the shoulder of a heavy-set man in a green corduroy jacket, or two hours rubbing from a history teacher in a tan jacket. In addition, once a year a council official would visit with a colour-chart to make sure that the wall-paper was slowly yellow on account of all the cigarette smoke. If the paper became sticky to the touch before the estimated five year period, the restaurant proprietor was awarded free parking in the town! True! 🇬🇧

"Scientifically tuned just as if they were real musical instruments" what the hell? The narrator totally shat the bed with that comment did he not? Prior to that he was just passively condescending but evidently he couldn't let the subject rest without blurting out his spectacularly misguided prejudice informing you by the way they aren't real musical instruments before abruptly washing his hands of the whole thing in a contemptuously smug way. THIS IS WHY ROCK'N'ROLL HAD TO HAPPEN.
