Very good video - considering it was filmed 56 years ago!
Have a look at the 7" automatic presses ... amazing!!!

Notice, in the part of the film:
http://youtu.be/Il-F3Rq7heY?t=6m53s
where the lacquer mastering was taking place, the RCA RT-11 tape machine - done in a layout (diagonal on the wall) that would also be used for some of the company's later Quad videotape - er, "television tape" recorders. (Some have claimed that RCA used RT-21's before first using Ampex 350's in some recordings, but I doubt RCA came up with the RT-21 until the later '50's.) And I noticed two Scullys made in the 1950-55 period, in that cutting room, presumably cutting two lacquers simultaneously as the tape machine was running.
