Just watched that video. Very cool indeed. I'm surprised any of those workers still had their fingers, working so close to those big machines. It's called timing.

Actually, the 2 guys on the side of the roof stamping apparatus had to have both hands on safety buttons before it would operate.

I liked the big riveting machines that swooped in to rivet the frames. Precursor to todays robotics, eh?
