    In 1910, the first aluminium foil rolling plant, Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie. was opened in Emmishofen, Switzerland. The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons, the aluminium manufacturers, was founded in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls, In 1911, Bern-based Tobler began wrapping its chocolate bars in aluminium foil, including the unique triangular chocolate bar, Toblerone.[6]
    The first use of foil in the United States was in 1913 for wrapping Life Savers, candy bars, and gum

    Overall informative, but a factual error at the beginning makes me wonder about the care they put into things. Stated the first company (or early one anyway) was “The Reynolds Aluminum company” FALSE. “Reynolds Aluminum “ is the product, the company was “Reynolds Metals company”. I worked there, Richmond VA headquarters, for 2 years. Eventually bought out by Alcoa; but that’s another story.
    Also, I had been taught the shiny/flat sides of AL sheets were caused by the need to run 2 sheets together for strength; the video correctly discusses strength problems, but I thought attributed shiny/flat to different rollers. Dunno, as I never verified my “teaching”.
    Notwithstanding criticism here, AL is fascinating and there’s lots of interesting info here.

      @steveskouson9620 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Your statement of the shiny and dull sides, is spot on.
      The shiny side, touches the rollers. The dull side is
      pressed against the other sheet. ( I saw a 'Tube video,
      said the dull side was against the rollers. Wrong.)

  • @TheLostBear78
    @TheLostBear78 Před 5 měsíci +2

    You got it wrong how the two different surface finishes come about. The foil is rolled at the final step in pairs of sheets. The outsides end up smooth because of they are against the smooth rollers. The other side is against the other sheet of foil that is rolled at the same time, so it is rougher as it just smashes into the other sheet.

  • @andrewmonument8847
    @andrewmonument8847 Před 6 měsíci +3

    It's only dull on one side - and shiny on the other... because of the way it's rolled ! It eventually gets too thick to roll as a single sheet - so it's doubled over. That's what creates the shiny/dull sides.

    • @kenmay1572

But this can be for any type of material taken from the earth. If things are done right, it can regenerate that particular molecule molecule again.
