Old Korean Jar Factory – Making the Korean traditional jar
An evening pause: Time for another industrial on how some things are made. And it is also no surprise that this factory is in South Korea.
Hat tip Cotour.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

That is one HUGE kiln!
Andi–
take a look at this–
->The remains of the “Harrop Continuous Tunnel Kiln” at the Red Wing Union Stoneware Company, Red Wing, Minnesota. Constructed in 1926, it was 358 feet long, and enabled RW to consistently mass-produce dinnerware and utilitarian stoneware (Of which I have numerous specimens.)

(compare & contrast with the pictured 2022 model of a Harrop continuous kiln.)

“Built in 1926, this Kiln technology was invented in 1919 by Harrop Industries. The considerable cost of 300,000 dollars proved to be an investment in the future of Red Wing. This Kiln guaranteed their success during the “Great Depression” as 40 percent of the clay producing companies were bankrupted during this time.”
I want larger and larger autoclave so…where a Starship’s heat shields can be made one piece or something.
Now…to be fair…if this had been North Korea and done it all by hand—we’d ask “where are the machines?” Yet if it was done wholly by machines, we’d call it soulless Communist industry.
The guy feeding clay into the form better be careful with his fingers…in case of a “slip.”
“I want larger and larger autoclave so . . .”
Saw a few autoclaves that could eat a three-story building at Boeing. If you talked to the operators, they were the only folks that kept the company afloat.
