Now that I've successfully completed my 1 hour+ of new employee orientation training, I really hope I get assigned to "welding the big ring" or maybe "tapping a furnace". Anything, of course, except "winding an armature".

This is actually a series of 21 three-minute films, available here: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/papr/west/westhome.html

Shouldn't all the individual films be checks on the National Film Registry list?

I know the imdb link lists a certain video with 3 Westinghouse films, but you can't check this unless you watch all 21 films in the National Film Registry collection. (sorry rohit, no shortcuts)

Follow the links on the wikipedia page

The youtube clips do not include the third segment according to the user review description on imdb.
"the third segment shows a "quittin' time" shot of the factory gate with the workers hurrying home"

The youtube clips seem to be the same collection as the one monoglot links to. The imdb entry refers to a different collection with only three Westinghouse Works clips.
