WWII - Color, 1944, USA Homefront: Copper Mining Pt. 3 of 3
04:52:06 Remaining pure blister copper poured from converter & moved in huge bucket & poured into anode furnace. Men w/ pipes injecting air; excess oxygen removed by poling. CU of pole being inserted & burning.
04:53:02 Anode furnace poured to casting wheel into molds for casting plates. Fork lift moving copper to stacks for shipment to electrolytic refinery.
10:53:49 Art card: Refining consisting of “Electrolysis, Shearing, Furnace, Casting Wheel.”
10:54:10 Ext. tanks for electrolytic process. Row of large plates lowered by overhead crane. Sheets of pure refined copper cathodes straightened & suspended between anodes. Warm electrolyte pumped in.
10:54:56 Model tank as example, current dissolves anode into solution & copper deposits on cathode. Impurities settle to bottom.
10:55:15 Pure copper cathodes removed by overhead crane, moved to washers.
10:55:43 Man sweeping impurities in bottom of tank, shovels out.
10:55:54 Some sheets of copper cathodes sheared & removed; others melted down for casting into ingots & bars. Air pumped into furnace, covered & green poles inserted. Copper poured into casting wheel molds. Bars for making wire moved. Wire being wound & used in constructing motor windings.
10:57:41 Wire being handled, stripped. Telephone & switching stations. Women & men soldering & assembling electronics. Copper being turned on lathe. Household appliances. Man soldering copper pipes. man assembling dashboard; airplane construction. Radar station.
10:59:06 Desert & industrial town based on copper industry. Students leaving university building.
10:59:41 Large shovel bucket filling railroad car. Carts of copper ingots moved in factory yard. Pouring copper into molds.
11:00:25 Statue of Liberty - Scenic shot. End credits.
Phelps Dodge Corporation; 1940s; American Home Front, WW2; USA; Color Industrial Film;
NOTE: Probably Morenci or Cooper Queen Mine. Any continuous 17 minutes of film on 3 cards sold at per reel rate.
