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 the Netherlands, a census was taken on 31 May 1947. The Central Bureau of Statistics in The Hague processes the incoming questionnaires. This includes the use of mechanical punching and sorting machines. SHOTS: - completed questionnaires; - ext. + int. CBS: in the cellars the incoming questionnaires are systematically stored in cupboards; an employee collects a bunch of them and rides them on a trolley to a room with civil servants; they convert the data on the forms into pencil codes on so-called scratch cards; the scratch cards are mechanically converted into punch cards; the punch cards are mechanically sorted with Hollerith machines; the results are automatically printed and studied by civil servants.

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