1
00:00:10,660 --> 00:00:07,240
we always see a statue of a man on a

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:10,670
horse with a sword or we see a line but

3
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:12,650
it's put on a shield and says but when

4
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,960
you come into New York Harbor and you

5
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:16,640
see the symbol of America it's a lady

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:18,500
with a torch of hope and torch of

7
00:00:23,050 --> 00:00:21,410
freedom that's why we call her lady and

8
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:23,060
we refer to her lady because she's not a

9
00:00:34,959 --> 00:00:32,809
statue to us the Statue of Liberty was a

10
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:34,969
gift from the people of France to the

11
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:39,320
people of America in 1886 she represents

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:42,200
their shared ideals of liberty freedom

13
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:46,610
and equality now enshrouded by a maze of

14
00:00:51,639 --> 00:00:48,950
scaffolding Miss Liberty is getting a

15
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:51,649
complete refurbishment from pedestal to

16
00:00:58,330 --> 00:00:54,680
torch next 4th of July to commemorate

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:00:58,340
the 100th anniversary Liberty will be

18
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:00,930
among many rejuvenating measures

19
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:03,150
designed to repair the ravages of a

20
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:05,460
century and ensure miss Liberty's

21
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,040
long-term survival is a protective

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:10,320
coating for her superstructure the

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:12,450
coating originated in NASA research on

24
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:14,850
corrosion resistant materials at the

25
00:01:19,850 --> 00:01:17,729

27
00:01:24,650 --> 00:01:22,560
Auguste Bartholdi once boasted that his

28
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:24,660
creation would last as long as the

29
00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:28,260
pyramids of the Nile to ensure a very

30
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:30,660
sound in her framework for his statue

31
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,190
we're told they went into partnership

32
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:35,280
with Gustave Eiffel well known for his

33
00:01:41,150 --> 00:01:38,670
Eiffel Tower attached to the four main

a rib case attached to this framing our

00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:50,399
armature bars which in a sense like the

38
00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:52,470
tendons and ligaments if you support

39
00:01:58,130 --> 00:01:56,100
Liberty's exterior copper skin the man

Strauss when the pavement affair various

43
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:04,740
paint manufacturers came out of various

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:06,000
other things and looked at the statue

45
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:08,610
they all said we don't know how you're

46
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:10,140
gonna get it or how you gonna get it

47
00:02:17,259 --> 00:02:11,640
clean to accept the coatings

that when we tried an experiment it far

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:25,840
exceeded all the other coatings and it's

52
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:27,250
interesting that the coating of

53
00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:29,110
masteries which I distinguish used on

54
00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:32,380

inorganic paints development in 1971 at

that time it was a spinoff of our work

62
00:03:00,210 --> 00:02:55,750
directed toward the development of

63
00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:00,220
coatings to protect spacecraft from the

aside from restoring the statues

interior framework there are many other

75
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:28,510
phases of reconstruction to be

76
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:31,269
considered Liberty's interior copper

77
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:34,150
skin will be clean and it seems received

78
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:37,330
to improve weather resistance statues

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:39,430
overall structure is in the process of

80
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:42,130
being refortified by replacing hundreds

of
