I once took a tour of the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo
Check out this footage between 0:21 and 0:31. It's a hot drawing operation for making copper wire. About 40 years ago my dad knew a guy who worked at the Phelps Dodge wire plant here and I got to go through it. That wire goes through those dies at about 90mph and the guys have to catch it with their tongs and refeed it. I'd swear that's the plant I was in, but they probably all look pretty much the same.
