    Yes, the audio is out of sync. This clip was showed last week on Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made” program. I recorded it and showed it to my “Map Interpretation and GPS” class that I teach at the local community college on Monday night. That struck me the most is how labor intensive the process is.
