[AMC-list] 36 Chevy Assembly Line

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Non AMC related but some of you greybeards who might have gotten to ever see some of the Kenosha plants behind the scenes can relate. There are a number of still photos of Kenosha line(s) including photos on my site, I don't know of any film like strips of Kenosha like this that exist though. This is about 9 1/2 minute video and is excellent clarity considering age. Thought some of you might like to check it out.

  36 Chevy Assembly Line


           
          This  is really awesome footage.  A 1936 Chevrolet  assembly factory.  
          Note the automation that was  already in place, 
          the workers lack of any and all  modern safety equipment, glasses and helmets, 
          and they  ALL know exactly what to do and its getting  done.

    Note also that when the body comes  together with the chassis that it is in FULL trim,  Interior, windshield, all glass etc. is already in  place as it is dropped onto the awaiting rolling  chassis, "AMAZING".  Simplicity at its  best.  Note that while the metal finishers are  checking the sheet metal for minute and tiny flaws and  defects that they are wearing heavy leather work  gloves.  How would YOU like that  repetitious  job of placing 3 rivets in the 3  holes on the chassis for about 35 to 40  years.
