Here is an old video from back in the good old days. Some of you guys may remember this place.

Just ran across the video and was about to post it here, good thing I ran a search first. Very interesting, and in 48' they had no problems with kids eating paint chips I guess, since they seemed proud that they added lead to the paint for buildings and steel bridges as well as water pipes. Sure seems more involved than the galena to silver video.
