Clips are not offered for this film: a public-domain mark that nothing bears out (no year, or a year no US term has left).

Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered. Open it at the Europeana.

About

In IJmuiden fried bokking is canned on behalf of the Dutch military in Indonesia. The advantages of mechanical processing of herring over manual processing are emphasised: the hourly production is much higher (2,500 pieces as opposed to 200) and, as the hands are not affected by the sharp bones, work can continue throughout the day. SHOTS: - four men stand at a table manually cleaning herring; - other men pour a container of caught herring into the feed bin of a cleaning machine, which then mechanically cleans the herring; - the cleaned herrings are deep-fried; - girls on a conveyor belt put the deep-fried herrings into cans.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
