This came up on YouTube, I found it interesting.
Some clips seem out of order and some are miss-labelled, but the operations are obvious.

Heavy coverings on the workers' thumbs while polishing the bolts at 5:30.

No problem on my side on seeing the video, then or now.

Strangest thing...wonder why?

The same thing is happening on 'GunBoards'.

A picture is posted and some can see it but most cannot see it and just get a 'blank space'.

Funnily enough I just happened across the same video recently in B&W format. Worth remembering that these companies had on average a 100% worker turnover every three months! Competition for labour was fierce and employers must have been competing heavily. Both they and the workers knew that the good times would last as long as the war and so were out to get it while the getting was good.

The version I saw was ridiculously over-speed; set on half speed it was still probably faster than real life.
