This 1960’s film demonstrates how metal walls for commercial as well as residential buildings are installed. It is presented by the National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (:39) and opens with images of a bulldozer scooping up earth on a construction site (1:11). Workers are then seen within a metal refinery (1:17) as metals are reduced to their molten state (1:20). Powdery alumina is reduced to metallic aluminum in large electrolytic pots (1:32) and is cast into molds (1:54). After the metals are cast, they are sent to the rolling mill (2:02) until they are reduced into plates (2:35). The extrusion process for non-ferrous metals is then demonstrated (3:14). Piles which have been cut to stock lengths are transported to the heat treat oven (3:57). Slitting rolls further cut the sheets into specific widths (4:26) while press braking bends the architectural parts (4:40). Glass production is shown (5:26) beginning with the materials being mixed (5:33) and reduced to a molten state (5:40). The molten mixture then pours from the furnace (5:43). The glass surface is smoothed (5:55). A porcelain enamel spray can be applied to either steel or aluminum (6:23). The coated parts are then fixed and dried in the oven (6:32). Workers move the preformed heavy gauge panels onto a high capacity conveyor system (6:49). Coil sheet stock is fed into equipment for a base coating and preliminary baking (7:10). Building engineers receive feed back from the wall manufactures during preparations for production (8:11). Shop drawings are made and production schedules are set up (8:32). Insulated panels are formed (9:11). Panels with polished facings (9:58) are sent to be shaped into shallow pans (10:04) which are then filled with inorganic insulating material (10:08). Some of the patterns which can be stamped into the metals are zoomed in on (10:32). Flash welding is demonstrated which is used for window assembly (10:53). Bronzes receive chemical treatment in order to have a statuary finish (11:54) while architectural aluminum receives anodized finishes (12:04). Colored finishes are applied onto the finished metals (12:38) by a spray or a roller coating (12:43). A span of a full-sized wall which had been built for testing follows (13:14). Artificial hurricanes are created to test durability (13:14) and static pressure tests are conducted (13:21). A large wall unit is seen undergoing final assembly (13:44). Wall units then arrive at a job site (15:17) as the crew works to install the frames (15:52). Commercial type walls for low buildings arrive in preassembled units (17:44) and these units are then shown being installed (18:15). Custom type walls are looked at (18:28) as well as college and industrial buildings which often use custom wall designs (19:13). Metal walls on an industrial building are installed from the building floors which removes the necessity of exterior scaffolding (20:03). The film begins to conclude with blurry footage after a quick look at wall units designed for corners and other units which are not flat that must be installed (20:38).
