The 70-minute film is described by them as “The manufacturing processes involved in making a Singer sewing machine at Clydebank, Glasgow, from its raw form of iron to the finished product packed and ready for export.”

Wow - thanks CD for this link - absolutely fascinating. A lot of back breaking work involved - those folks really knew what a hard days work was. It would be interesting to see a film on the current manufacturing process. Sure makes me appreciate, all the more, my beautiful old machine.

I ordered this from them a year ago when only a few minutes of it were online. I have watched it once, and will probably watch it again. I have it ripped (for personal use) to my media server at home so I can watch it from a computer or a TV whenever I want. I will see if I can get any tips from it when I do the decals on the FW I'm painting this winter.
