MR. McFEELY: WHEN PEOPLE MAKE TOY WAGONS, THEY START WITH BIG, FLAT PIECES OF METAL.

FRED ROGERS: MM-HMM.

THIS MACHINE FORMS EACH METAL SHEET INTO THE MAIN PART OF THE WAGON.

HOW DOES IT DO THAT?

WELL, THIS BIG SECTION OF THE MACHINE COMES DOWN AND PRESSES THE METAL INTO JUST THE RIGHT SHAPE.

SEE?

OH, YES.

THERE IT GOES.

THERE IT IS.

NOW, THIS NEXT MACHINE TRIMS OFF THE EXTRA METAL AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE.

OH, IT TRIMS IT OFF.

NOW YOU'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS.

WATCH.

PUTS IT ON.

SEE?

OH, YES.

THERE'S THE EXTRA.

THAT'S THE EXTRA METAL, AND, YOU KNOW, THE EXTRA METAL IS RECYCLED TO MAKE MORE WAGONS.

OH, GOOD.

AH.

THAT'S THE PART YOU SIT IN.

MM-HMM, OR PUT THINGS IN.

PUT THINGS IN.

NOW, THESE NEXT MACHINES SMOOTH THE ROUGH OUTSIDE EDGES SO THAT PEOPLE WON'T GET HURT...

I SEE.

AND PUT SOME FINAL TOUCHES ON EACH WAGON BEFORE IT GOES TO BE PAINTED.

THAT'S WHAT THESE MACHINES ARE DOING NOW.

OH, LOOK AT ALL OF THEM.

MM-HMM.

THEY'RE ABOUT TO BE PAINTED.

IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

THE WAGONS ARE HUNG ON HOOKS, AND THIS SPRAYING MACHINE PAINTS THE OUTSIDE OF EACH WAGON.

OH, LOOK AT THAT RED PAINT COMING OUT IN A SPRAY.

THAT'S FUN TO WATCH.

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

WELL, THIS IS-- A SPECIAL ROBOTIC PAINTER DOES THE INSIDE CORNERS.

THEY'RE TOO HARD FOR THE OTHER SPRAYER TO REACH, SO THEY USE THIS SPECIAL PAINTER.

AND IT PUTS ON JUST ENOUGH PAINT, DOESN'T IT, THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF IT?

WELL, THAT'S NEXT.

THAT'S WHAT'S-- WELL, THAT'S, IN FACT, WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

YOU SEE, THE INSIDES ARE BEING PAINTED BY A SPRAYER JUST LIKE THE FIRST SPRAYER.

NEXT COMES THE WHEELS, AND THEY'RE MADE FROM THIS GIANT ROLL OF METAL, AND THE METAL MOVES THROUGH A MACHINE THAT CUTS AND MOLDS IT INTO JUST THE RIGHT SIZE AND SHAPE TO MAKE WHEELS.

THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

BOY, THAT MACHINE WORKS VERY QUICKLY.

OH, IT CERTAINLY DOES.

OH, I SEE.

THERE THEY ARE.

THERE ARE THE WHEELS.

WELL, EACH PART IS HALF OF A WHEEL.

OH.

IN FACT, HERE'S WHERE THE PARTS OF THE WHEELS ARE ASSEMBLED.

THIS MAN PLACES ONE PART ON TOP OF ANOTHER, AND THEN...

THE MACHINE PRESSES THOSE TWO PARTS TOGETHER TO FORM A SINGLE WHEEL.

MM, TAKES A LOT OF MACHINES TO MAKE ONE WAGON.

IT CERTAINLY DOES, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT IT TAKES PEOPLE TO MAKE THE MACHINES WORK.

THAT'S FOR SURE.

NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

WELL, THE WHEELS NEED TO BE PAINTED JUST LIKE THE WAGONS DO, ONLY THE WHEELS ARE PAINTED WHITE.

WHAT IS THAT?

THIS MACHINE ATTACHES THE RUBBER TIRE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND POPS IT INTO A BIN.

IS THAT FUN.

IT SURE IS.

IT'S MY FAVORITE PART OF THE TAPE.

MM-HMM.

FINALLY, IT'S TIME TO PUT THE WAGON TOGETHER.

EACH PERSON CAREFULLY ASSEMBLES A DIFFERENT PART, AND WHEN THE WAGON'S ALL PUT TOGETHER, THIS MAN DOES A FINAL CHECK TO BE SURE IT WORKS JUST RIGHT, AND NOW THE WAGON'S READY TO ROLL.
