Very neat color movie of how radio crystals were made for the Signal Corps in 1943!

I also posted this in the radios forum for the "Sparkys' out there!

Neat find. There was a pretty big industry here is Lee County with radio crystals up into the 80's. A road is named Crystal Drive and my wife had a part time job in a place that made them in the mid 70's.
