2 Classic Hondas...Modern Bikes are no Better...I have a Modern Honda..1986😁

A lot of my Alloa ancestors worked in the glass works - ive been doing some research and very often on the death cert it shows occupation as glass works - mostly the men but a few of the women too

Just bought a 349.

My Dad used to work there in the late 70s - early 80s. Archie McLaren

Is there much difference between the two? I’m torn between getting a c200 or an s90

I did my apprenticeship there as a sparky in the late 70s , Pete Pickett , worked with Sandy Love , Andy Wilson and Russel little , good times 👍😬

Still pushin batch in down in Alloa at times. 84 shop is a working museum lol

Cool. Looks like a blast. Fun ride on some great country roads. Completely unspoiled to my eyes, even if you drive on the wrong side of the road.

looks like the S90 was pretty works competition. lol very nice original C200. I think the XR100 piston can be used to big boar, cams are hard to find. makes the 90 a little more roadable. have fun

My Grandad worked there till he retired in the 1970s

30 mile/h is top speed for my c200 due to it old engine but I love it.

I've watched this 3 times

:26 look at me

Nice roy

My dad has been working here since around mid 1980's.

I worked at the Glassworks in the early 50's in the Machine shop, left to go to America in 1953, anyone remember me.

very cool

Cool roy

Nice charlie

When are you going to make another Video?

AYE!!!! thats bloody true....everytime i smell a brewery giving off steam, i go right back home......makes me cry wen im alone, soft sap!!!!!!!

Nice one roy

Aw

I work in the glassworks just now,was standing under the cone the other day

I like the this video... It's neat to see the Drum Machines Operating... My Dad and Gran Dad worked in a glass container factory, and now I do as well as an operator apprentice... It's pretty much done the same way today!

@gofishron Hi, my grandfather worked there in the 1950's too. I've no idea who the gentleman is in the video.

My grandfather worked there in the 50's, I actually have his bus. card in front of me. Represented by Mr. G. W. Evans - man was a genious, told me some stories of the factory. This video 6:15 into it - man looks familier . . . looking for confirmation . . .

@pesla Difficult job Pesla, very hot. Takes skill to get those gobs right

isnt that cool , sounds like my old fantic!

That's some history. The cone that you see the furnaceman pushing the batch into the furnace, is still there. Built in 1824 your great grandparents must have seen it being built and worked in it.

Hi zimmlock, Happy New Year to you also. I'm afraid I've never heard of such a forum. I'm sure there are lots of o-i employees out there would love to chat, just look at all the videos on youtube with o-i themes.

Buellyboy, happy new year, do you know if there exist a kind of O-I workers forum? would be nice to talking glass manufacturing on a world wide scale.

Hi zimmlock, glad you like the video. I've been in your plant a couple of times. Thats a fast machine, we have one similiar but it's been put back to duel now. We make mostly whisky bottles.

nice movie and funny to read all comments of mostly O-I people. I work for O-I as a operator at a IS10 tripple, doing 450 jars a minute at Maastricht. Times have changed since the 50thees.

Hello, glad you like it. I've been in the Rinteln plant it's the cleanest, quietest glass plant I've ever seen. I know the Batch and Furnace manager very well.

Glad you liked it. We've made the Absolut too. How difficult is that ? If I see another one it'll be too soon. Cheers

dan from o-i in montreal...i'm so sorry for your shut down in lavington wishing all the best for the future.

thanks for the video,my father started to work on that kind of machine in the 50's.has for me i work for o-i in montreal on the change crew in the forming...bambam.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with people from your plant that moved to o-i

Yes, it was Consumers Glass up to 2001, then it was an O-I Canada Corp. plant.

Was your plant an O-I plant.

Finally a Lynch in action! I worked at the Lavington BC Canada plant from 1996 to 2008 when they shut us down :( 47 bottles per minute...you've got to love 6 section single gob IS machines.

fantastic video

My grandfather, granny, father, mother uncles, cousins and brother all worked in the Alloa factory, except for grandfather and granny we all were there at the same time. I work with the furnaces today. Glad you liked the video.

I never saw a Lynch myself but they were legend among the older operators including my dad. I remember an old boy where I lived who had no hands at all due to a Lynch machine

Glad you like it so much, cheers

A pleasure

Glad you liked it
