    Isn't that another name for a street prostitute?

    The strapping looks like something out of a horror movie.

    Pretty involved process.
    It checks the tubes to be sure they are empty.
    It weighs each tube after being filled.
    :)

    The degree of mechanization in these processes is amazing. At one time, such operations were performed entirely with human labor. Of course, now such machines are built with human labor and programmed by humans. From what I read though, soon machines will build machines with AI to replace humans.... Hmmmm... The future has some dark shadows.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    Reminded me a little of the Food Network show Unwrapped, which would often show all the mechanization behind producing junk food that was always predictable in shape, size, color, flavor, and decorative pattern despite working in an environment full of sticky substances and temperature swings.
