Old School Woodworking - making fan blades in 1941

This is a documentary no the manufacturing of 45 fan blades for
the N.A.C.A. (forerunner to NASA) wind tunnels, circa 1941.

A lot of "the skill is in the operator, not the machine". Fifteen
minutes 'tack' time from the application of the first glue, till a six
foot stack of wood all goes in the press.
Repeat for ten more blade.
