But think about what the safety boys would say
Quote:
Love old manufacturing movies - But think about what the safety boys would say. Being a Chevy person, I particularly enjoy the old GM stuff. But what caught my eye right off the bat, was the guys in the machine shop wearing neck ties. Yes, it was the fashion but really. My dad was an electrical engineer but worked on a lot of electro/mechanical equipment. I know I never saw him with a regular tie always wore clip-on bow ties. When I was running an engineering project we had an old school machinist in charge of the machine shop, that old guy would hit of the power kill buttons in the shop that would stop all motors every-time some suit wearing a tie would walk into the shop. Don't really know if he was that safety conscious or just saw visitors to his shop as being a waste of time. Cheers Phil

Old Girl Puts Up A Good Fight, But...
This will bring a tear to a restorer's eye:

Dismantling
That was brutal!
Make it rather difficult to restore too.

Mantling
Nothing a good body man couldn't fix up in a few hours...as our friend Angus is known to say.

Armour an Embarkation
Hi Scott
Now that is quite the video. Does any body know the vehicle count and the distanced traveled? This one is definitely going in the next issue of our Clubs Newsletter. Cheers Phil

Tank restoration
Interesting programs, I watched the first two (so far) and enjoyed them apart from the way they vision and sound are constantly hyped. There is, at least in the Sherman one a huge amount of footage that is just padding and can easily be skimmed past to get to the interesting bits. The other thing which was a little disappointing was you don't see the completion of either project. I'd be interested to hear what others think. These programs would have had huge production budgets.
One thing I found very interesting was the different approach between the US and British restorers, I thought Dave was fantastic with his comment about "You pain in the arse camera people".
