Made by RKO Pathe as part of the WWII industrial incentive effort, “Conquer by the Clock” presents a hectic montage of images of productivity, set to the click of time clocks, the hum of industrial machinery, and the clattering of guns. In wartime America, three 8-hour shifts and 24 hours of work were necessary in munitions plants, shipyards, and other vital factories. In 1943, the film was nominated for an Academy Award.

The film shows the activities in a munitions plant at the 3:30 mark, with rifle cartridges being manufactured. A lazy employee goes off to have a smoke, and as a result a bad batch of bullets is missed. In the end this proves to be a fatal mistake for a soldier in the field, whose rifle misfires in combat and he is killed. It also shows the owner of a wartime plant who goes to watch a baseball game instead of overseeing the loading of a vital survival kit aboard a lifeboat, resulting in the inadvertent death of two men.

Overall, the film encourages American workers to make the best possible use of their time in a war where industrial production and combat are synchronized on an international level. Encourages American wartime workers to “keep their sleeves rolled up.” Describes the volume of industrial and agricultural production that can be accomplished in a single day: enough rifles for a battalion, 1000 acres of corn converted to 30,000 bushels of food.” The film calls tired workers, in effect, “saboteurs”. Narration admonishes workers for the death of soldiers through inadequate equipment or supplies. Utterly melodramatic. Urges workers to move production forward relentlessly. Says that “the clock” is what will win the war.

The film was directed by Director Slavko Vorkapich (1895-1976), the acknowledged master of “montage sequences” — image combination and superimposition techniques that infused often quite ordinary movies with moments of abstraction. With Robert Florey and Gregg Toland, he made the early American experimental film The Life and Death of a Hollywood Extra (1928); later, he made his famous contribution to Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s Crime Without Passion (1934). Besides Conquer by the Clock, he made six other This Is America short subjects for RKO-Pathe, including Private Smith, U.S.A., Women in Arms, Lieutenant Smith and New Americans.

RoboGlove: robotic glove developed by NASA and General Motoros.

This glove can reduce the work that needs a human hand when holding a heavy object, as is the case with many of the tools used by astronauts. This reduction, and the fact that quite faithfully reproduce the locomotor system-level hand and forearm make it interesting for other applications within the Earth’s atmosphere.
We explained at the time that reduced the effort RoboGlobe hand 2-4 kilograms of pressure needed to sustain 7-9 of these tools. This means that there is also a reduction of exhaustion, an important factor considering what they can last for repairs on the International Space Station ISS, whose site for routine was designed.

However, no need to go to outer space to this pseudo hand be useful. In Bioservo, a company that has spent years dedicating themselves to building exoskeletons for hands and other limbs, put the eye on the RoboGlove and saw him a suitable candidate for its own SEM salpimentarlo Soft Extra Muscle technology. No need to think much to move that saving effort aerospace repairs that would have the ground equipment, such as large vehicles or industrial machinery, where everything tends to have a larger scale both parts such as tools, such as tasks. Another area that can be seen is the benefit of health. In recent years we are seeing thanks to advances in designs and materials are creating prostheses that are increasingly effective, lightweight and comfortable for users. Bioservo expected to applying its expertise in exoskeletons, such as SEM glove grip enfocadosa troubleshoot, to create a hybrid that is useful in rehabilitation therapies or creating bionic implants.
