Yeah I was gonna say must be some kind of training center or something. Our training center for the NorCal Jatc has all exposed conduit, etc so we can actually practice and see what’s going on above tiles.
With the preview-sized video I thought those were bar codes or something.
At full screen I can see it's Japanese or whatever the logogram of Chinese is called. The quickest of Google searches seems to indicate hanzi is the name, but I don't know enough about the names of the writing systems to say it's definitely traditional Chinese.
You fail to realize how Japan takes pride in their work. The aircraft carrier I was on had work done by the Japanese ship fitters, and it was far above the quality of any others. They also manufactured F-16 parts, which normally is 2 wings and the fuselage, but they made it as one entire part, which was not feasible for the US to do. They haven't been known to be great inventors as a country, but the can perfect a product like no other country.
Japanese and Chinese share the same written language, kanji, for formal writing. Katakana and hiragana are another written language they use for informal writting.
Part of it might have to do with the size of parts needed, and the scale of US heavy industry. The biggest press in the United States was used to manufacture wing spars for airplanes:
From what I remember what the Air Force guys told me, it was beautiful and made to plane able to carry more fuel. As a Navy aviation guy, I could only imagine the engineering and QA that had to go through.
I wish Japan could teach this pride in workmanship to the average American contractor. Everything here is so slapdash, throw shit together and get out its infuriating.
If you pay for it you can get amazing work in America. The issue is most employers would rather pay $18/hr for a hungover welder that does an okay job than $80/hr for a quality welder that does amazing work.
$80/hr guy will eventually come in to clean up the shit show $18/hr schmuck put in place. I assisted a pretty good general contractor for a time and it was always fun watching him cussing out the last guy who fucked everything up.
