How pencils are made in a Japanese factory [video]
I always wonder, when I see videos like this: who creates the system of little machines that nudge, shove and knock items from one step to the next?<p>What's their job called? And when that is your job, can you just go into any factory and come up with the answer – or do you specialise in a certain field? And all the parts you use commodity, or are they specific to pencil making, for example?<p>If anyone has any light to shed on this field of work I'd be interested to learn more.
