These are worth checking out. One is from Triumph in 1958 and the other from BSA, similar era. Both show manufacturing processes in detail.

They are streaming videos so a high speed connection is required. And if anyone knows how a fellow could save those to his computer, I would appreciate finding out.

These are cool flicks....

In the BSA one when they were loading bikes for export the poor fellow has a crated bike on a two wheeler and he just about drops it. The inspector, standing right behind him with his clipboard, doesn't even make a small attempt to help. He'll have none of that manual labor business...

I thought that the Triumph film was excellent, well worth taking the half hour to view.
