Oh, you run a line. Yeah, a production line. 209 00:15:05,690 --> 00:15:11,450 It's based on the same principle that Mr. Henry Ford uses in the automobile 210 00:15:11,450 --> 00:15:15,840 plant.

Now, there, 214 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:33,160 the lobsters, here. Now, they are carried in here, and then they are 215 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:39,980 onto the sorting table.

And then, once the 220 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:02,280 meat is taken, a last belt takes the meat off to the 221 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,580 canning room. 222 00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,680 Good bear belts. 223 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,920 Efficient production. 224 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,120 You sound like Dunham. 225 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,660 You think it could work? 226 00:16:13,180 --> 00:16:14,180 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 227 00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:21,320 Oh, but the cost, Jasper, of putting in all these contraptions.
