Default 1936 Chevy Assembly Line

Guys, I think this video is 100% awesome. I got this from another Vette forum.

Enjoy


"Cool video of 1936 Chevrolet assembly line.
Fascinating 1936 footage of car assembly line. [VIDEO]
some of those repetitive jobs look boring and dangerous.
I'd like to see a "finger inventory" at the end of each day."

Ok, I thought that was fantastic! The frame assembly line with all those riveting heads-WOW! And NO computers!

All the lug nuts went on one-by-one with fingers-no multi-drive torque hubs! The stamping plant was cool with all those old shapes coming to life!

I agree with the "finger inventory" remark! I bet they saved all the severed fingers-that's what they used to make steering knuckles out of!!!

Great video!

That was beyond cool Pete. Did you notice the workers, all dressed neatly and not one over weight worker; a far cry from what you see today
