> It’s just the fact that so many people have had to sit through so many educational/industrial videos that look and sound just like this one and they're dead serious and deadly dull.<p>At my first “real” job they had a tradition of 6 months of training.<p>When I joined the company they were too busy to hold actual training classes so I watched very old VHS tapes of even older classes…. taught by the engineers who designed the product… for other engineers who also already knew the product.<p>It was all Turboencabulator word salad.<p>In an infamous moment I’ll never forget an engineer picked up a stack of papers and paged threw it and found his page and held that one page toward the camera (sitting at the back of the room) and “showed” us the code he wrote and asked the camera person to zoom in…..

Here is the fun take -<p><a href="https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w</a><p>And the original -<p><a href="https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2Ag" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2Ag</a><p>Also curious as this was on Twitter the other day...how social mixed if this is the OPs reason for sharing.
I wonder whether "so fitted [...] that side fumbling was effectively prevented." implies other fittings were tried but did not prevent side fumbling and this mounting does so, or that this fitting is known to be sub-optimal and does not prevent side fumbling completely but does so well enough.
I've always preferred the feature set of Write-Only Memory to the Turboencabulator. It's just a product of my line of work requiring many DC buffers. Also, not many chips have a chip destruct signal input.<p><a href="http://repeater-builder.com/molotora/gontor/25120-bw.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://repeater-builder.com/molotora/gontor/25120-bw.pdf</a>
Someone shared this video yesterday on the Boston Dynamics post, which has the same intonation and general feel as the encabulator videos. I don't have enough experience to know if it's an homage or if lots of sales videos still sound like this. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB9T-I7Fh7U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB9T-I7Fh7U</a>

Hey, I read that page yesterday while trying to explain a variation on the topic to a friend after sharing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEnj18pKeJM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEnj18pKeJM</a> with him. Highly recommend the Ian Davis channel if you are interested in DIY or fascinated by engineering in general.

I love how much English writing has changed since then. You'd never say "in such a way that" or "so fitted" or "every seventh conductor being connected". The entire prose style can change but the joke can still be perfectly on point
"But with Wilson countersink flanges and Dorry flanges, hydraulic torque is allowed to bypass the settling clutch, providing steady wall pressure to the lug manifold and all seismic rotors. And that goes for 7000 RQMs, 8000 RQMs, even 10,000 RQMs!"
Huh, this reminds of the Statiophonicoxygeneticamplifiergraphafonadelaverberator.<p>Kind of hard to imagine the world before we had them, isn't it?
