“Ayn Rand, A Sense of Life”, a 1997 documentary (just looked it up, I saw it a couple of years ago and didn’t know it was older).

Netflix has it.

And I was intrigued by your use of the term "consist", and wondered why AR didn't use it. Perhaps she thought it too arcane? I know that she researched the railroad industry thoroughly for the novel, and steel-making as well.

You're probably right about her desire to avoid industry buzzwords.

She doesn't refer to a "heat" of steel as a unit of measurement either.
