I Love Lucy Assembly Line

I love Lucy. So much.

I’m not sure if the hype spread as far as Australia, but the ‘I Love Lucy’ show still has die-hard fans in the States. Her clips on youtube have an average of one million views. I would almost go so far to say that Lucille Ball is the female Charlie Chaplin.

Appealing to the average American, she mirrors the everyday experiences of middle-class Americans in the 1950’s. Married to Ricky, her bongo-playing Hispanic husband, Lucy trips and laughs through life as she attempts part-time employment and gets up to tricks with her best friend Ethel.

Lucy often has bad luck. Life is not perfect. But she is good hearted at her base and we fall in love with her as we watch her life unfold in black and white.
She makes the hum-drum laughable. Gives us company in the realisation that we are not alone in our gripes and struggles. Our concerns are heard and we learn to pin the legevity of humour to the most dire circumstances through laughing with our dear Lucy.

In the scene below, Lucy is trying her hand at casual work as an assembly-line worker. She goes into the job with her friend Ethel.

Trussed up in white chefs hats and uniforms, they arrive at the factory ready to go. The manager meets them with a grim look and shows them their task:

The girls try their best, but as you can guess, the experiment goes terribly wrong.

The speed at which they are descended upon by the chocolates on their ribbon goes faster and faster.

Until Lucy and Ethel, in their desperation to ensure that no chocolate makes its way to the end of the line without being packaged, begin to hide the chocolates in their chef’s hats, then their blouses and finally stuff their mouths with the chocolates.

The manager comes back to check their progress and upon seeing the production line clean of chocolates, she aproves of the girls and asks the factory warden to increase the speed of output. Lucy and Ethel are left to continue their maraud of sweets.

Don’t let your assembly line go wrong.
Keep it in check and efficiently mark your products with fast labeling solutions.

Markem-Imaje is a world manufacturer of product identification and traceability solutions, offering a full line of reliable and innovative inkjet, thermal transfer, laser, print and apply label systems and RFID-based systems. They handle assembly lines very well.

With their ability to do continuous ink jet printing they can generate labels so quickly that it generates 62,500 drops of ink per second.

How does it work?
A piezoelectric device called a resonator transmits acoustic energy to the ink stream. Each drop, exactly the same size, is propelled by a Stainless Steel cannon through an electrode where an electrical charge is selectively applied.

The charged drops are then deviated by deflection plates and used for printing. Uncharged drops are recycled back into the ink reservoir.
The other core competency that marke-imaje offers, in addition to continuous ink jet printing is laser technology that harnesses an invisible beam of light generated by a CO2 source. This light beam is then steered by mirrors and focused through a series of lenses. This highly-concentrated beam of light then “burns” the substrate, leaving an indelible mark.
