Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title: Carborundum

Genre: information, documentary, political cartoon
Running time: 10:51
Synopsis:
An informational film about the production of silicon carbide, a synthetic mineral. After the first few images are shown of a sand grindstone from the era before silicon carbide (depicting an old man with a long white beard working with a sand grindstone), we see the different stages of how silicon carbide is produced, with explanations offered in the intertitles. Coke, sand, sawdust and salt are fed into electric furnaces that burn at six thousand degrees Celsius. Factory labourers work the large chunks of the material, which are crushed into pellets from crystal masses, while female workers cast small wheels of the material; one woman is shown in close-up. The film ends with the old man from the beginning, who is now working with a grindstone made of silicon carbide.

This is followed (in the Dutch copy) by a short cartoon of Emperor Wilhelm II, whose nose is placed against a grindstone, resulting in a piece of paper entitled “Willie's record” (his death list) being splattered with blood.

Samenvatting:
Nadat eerst enkele beelden van de zandslijpsteen uit het tijdperk van vóór het carborundum (een oude man met lange witte baard hiermee aan het werk) worden getoond worden de verschillende stadia van het productieproces van carborundum getoond met uitleg in tussentitels. Cokes, zand, zaagsel en zout worden in elektrische ovens gedaan die op zesduizend graden branden. Arbeiders werken in de pletterijen met grote brokstukken van het materiaal, de kristalmassa's worden tot korrels geplet. Vrouwelijke arbeiders werken aan het gieten van kleine wieltjes van het materiaal. Een vrouw wordt in close up getoond. De film eindigt met de oude man uit het begin, die nu met een slijpsteen van carborundum werkt.

Dan volgt (op deze Nederlandse kopie) nog een korte cartoon van keizer Wilhelm II wiens neus tegen een slijpsteen wordt gehouden, zodat hij een papier getiteld 'Willie's record' (zijn dodenlijst) met bloed volspat.

Voorlichtingsfilm over het productieproces van carborundum (silicon carbide, een synthetisch mineraal).
