Nice film.  I noticed that too.  My wife grew up almost across the street from the Nike site at Belmont Harbor in Chicago.  There was also a Nike site at Montrose harbor.  For those not in the know, both are yacht harbors on the Lake Michigan shore, and all part of Lincoln Park, the park that stretches north from the Chicago Loop.  Grant Park, which serves the same role on the South Side, also had Nike bases.

I liked the automated vacuum-tube manufacturing machine and the little introduction to printed-circuit board electronics.  Another fun part was the deployment of temporary telephone lines from an airplane.

And, of course, the teletypes and torn-tape message exchange were nice.
