A giant magnet picks up the cast metal pieces and drops them onto a conveyor belt./ A man stirs cups of coffee with a teaspoon, his nose in the cups as he stirs. Another man empties huge bags of coffee into an enormous roaster. Beans rotate in the roaster, and then are ground uniformly by a machine. They are then vacuum sealed in cans and sent on a conveyor.

Shot of outside of plant. / Glass blowing manufacturers. Artisans mold soft glass on a long pole and roll it to create a bowl and base that are eventually attached. The finished product is placed on a platform and displayed. 2.) Scientists construct helium cryostats at a research lab. Narrator compares it to a refrigerator, in that it deep freezes materials that change their original form when frozen. The scientists fiddle with knobs, buttons and meters. Helium that has been compressed and expanded turns to liquid in a large test tube. A scientist dips a copper coil into the helium it loses its conductivity, mercury is dipped and turns to a solid, small piece of rubber is dipped, turns to a solid, and is hammered into a block of wood. Man takes a rubber ball dips it, takes it out and tries to bounce it, it shatters. Then he dunks a coil of solder wire, it turns springy, where it was originally soft.
