It makes sense when you watch it, but it is still pretty fascinating. I'd be curious to see the science that goes behind making all of them into a zoom lens though learning how the same pieces of glass can work at say 70 and at 200.

Amazingly low tech. Since this video states it is showing the mfg of TV lenses, it may still be done in such an extremely old way, however I'm willing to bet the Japanese are not producing camera lenses with such a high degree of operator involvement and low tech clean room procedures. Compared to semiconductor mfg this is prehistoic yet the industries intersect in numerous areas.
