File etching - until the early 2000 in East Germany - video
I just found this video. Amazingly interesting (to me), but sadly in German, with a thick East German accent.
You can set Youtube to do an automatic translation to English in settings, and then turn on the subtext.
While you can sort of follow the text, Google makes lots of errors due to the thick accent.
It used the word "arrow" instead of "file" consistently at least (the German words are very similar: Pfeil and Feile).
Anyway, I think the vision tell the story. Google gets a bit lost when the old man says that one day he went to work and the owner wasn't there. After making some enquiries the next day, it turned out that he fled to the West. So he took over the workshop, got his business qualifications and registration and kept going. Then the East German authorities decided that the business and property had inherent value and required him to that into a trust account, in case the original owner ever cme back - which he never did. I burst out laughing at the way he told that story. Google Translate didn't really get it.....
The video is of the very last box of worn out files he re-etched. The cost of re-etching files is now greater than replacement with new machine made files....
