A great film for the historian and the casual observer, who will be astounded at the complexity of the industrial age at it's height and glory. No wonder we took on and defeated 2 great military powers in under 4 years during WW2. Thanks for posting this important piece of American history. I'm sure few if any home movies exist of the inside of an industrial giant like this.This film will be increasingly important to historians 500 or more years from now as they study the 1st industrial age.
I love watching these old films. This one is incredible shape considering it was in the 30's still. We can definitely learn a lot from that time period. I wish I could ask questions to my grandmother but, she has dementia now and cannot remember many things from her childhood in the 30's. So, these videos will have to do.
Seconds cost minutes. Minutes cost hours. I used to be the "lab rat" at a supplier plant that made recliner mechanisms for several makes. The last part of this vid shows life and reliability testing. Ultimate static strength, life cycle, salt spray are among the testing required to ensure that situations like the current Toyota accelerator recalls don't happen. Also, lot traceability ID. on parts reduces the need to recall every car. One test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
Yep, they didn't have major machinery like they do today. It was a time when people could earn a few cents a day for almost everything. Today finding work as you may know, well it's nearly impossible
They helped put America on the road! A century has passed and they are still kickin ass GO Ford Motor Company!!
