Keep in mind, this film was made in 1936 !!!
1936 Chevrolet Assembly Line
This is an amazing video !! 1936 Chevrolet 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. Check their sizes, you can tell it requires labor. 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 the repetitious job of placing 3 rivets in the 3 holes on the chassis for about 35 to 40 years?
