Ah...the days before OSHA came along and spoiled all the fun.

 

Ah, The Good Old Days!

 

I don't know, those guys really worked hard for that paycheck. HRP

 

Danny, that 's the way it was when I was working ( even with OSHA)!

 

Neat little film.

I'd say they're 1927 Buicks based on the wheels, fenders, and body lines, but the engine in the crankshaft section of the film looks to be a flathead and not the ohv that Buicks had. So maybe not...or maybe a different makes ***embly line?

 

Interesting stuff. Lots of back breaking work going on right there. I’d have to say the making of the tires fascinated me the most though.

Liked the gl*** making sequence. Would like to have more detail of the process.

The background music sounded like it should have been playing in a Laurel and Hardy or Our Gang movie.

 

Holy moly, I had no idea those delivery trucks went back so far:

 

Fascinating to watch. Manufacturing was a labor intensive process. The tire maker really had to work that machine! Imagine doing that for a 10 hour day.

 

Humbling stuff for sure. The dedication to a dream . On that same note, watch the movie on the making of the Lincoln. What Edsel did to save Lincoln, and the ***embly line Factories that Leland had designed .The processes from beginning to end. The backbreaking work. Mind boggling.
