pretty cool, some of those jobs look pretty easy...

Very cool, but the music put me to sleep.

I’m kind of surprised to see so much automation in frame production in 1936. Sure does look dangerous with so much heavy quick moving equipment in such close proximity to human interaction. Very cool video, thanks for sharing.

Why is it that they put the rivets with such ease and we beat on them for hours to get them out?

jbon64 · 10-19-2011, 07:46 PM

cool video . that had /has to be the most boring mind numbing job. my hat is off to those folks then and now.

Very cool. I was also amazed at the automation. Can't imagine doing the same thing over and over again like the guy putting in the rivets. You had to hand it to the workers of the old days.

Very neat video.........

Autoworkers still work their ass off. Definitely not a job everyone can handle.
