Joe looks like a number of them on youtube, now I have to quit watching sportscenter & watch ancient Chevy footages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bT6txm4RpA is another youtube one (there are 3-4 of them, not sure how many same) this is exactly same one I posted (from dump website) which is on youtube though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPpTK2ezxL0 jalopy journal has a link to 'the dump' one I posted... while coollink has it also, as does flyingmidshipmen and even AACA.org of all places, so I would guess this is simply public record stuff out there, hell, all those folks like Wizard of Oz people long since passed away so not sure how Chevy would even retain a copyright on it 76 or so years later. I'm sure http://www.acoollink.com/1936-chevy-assembly-line/ a quick search of '36 chevy assembly line movies' pulled up too many of them to count however. AMC content as used to be required by Jim Stone amc-list owner back in day "sure wished AMC people could pull up search like this of ancient amc footage" Sigh. Now back to Sportscenter.

That whole series of 36 Chevy assembly line movies was banned on YouTube a few months ago because of copywright violations. I hope the uploader did the right thing on dump.com. Joe ----- Original Message ---- From: 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.

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. http://www.dump.com/2011/07/15/fascinating-1936-footage-of-car-assembly-line _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
