Cut to a large industrial production line at British Motor Corporation showing the production of engine parts and their assemble. At the head of the line an operator clamps an engine block into a fixture that will automatically pass it from one machine to another as the engine is machined, drilled and bored to completion. Each step of the process is shown in great detail until the whole engine is completed and then the gear box case is added. No detail is spared and there are natural sound effects for every moment of the operation. The narrator tells us that "these wonderful machines are a far cry from the rollers the Egyptians used and yet in practice they are doing the same thing, lessening the load on man, easing his work and at the same time increasing his productivity. This method of production has been called "Automation".
For similar shots to these, but in full colour see "Magic in Metal" *PM2299*. This is also produced by B.M.C.

These early episodes of How Its Made are terrific. Yes, I know.
-
All those automated machines running on analogue relay ladder logic 🫠 engineers back then were built different.
-
Excellent video showing old but efficient serial production methods. I've worked in Deutz engine facility in Argentina with very similar machines. Thanks for sharing!
-
I love how all the machining sounds are all like some dude in his backyard shed dryreaming a blunt drill bit into hardened steel
-
That's amazing, man went from the roller to the wheel to the clock and then factories all in the space between 1950 to 1959. Just amazing!
-
Did you notice the 3 bearing crankshafts near the end? They had a tendency to break on the Mk. 1 Cortina. The later models had the 5 bearing crankshaft.
-
I like how they just keep using the same sound every time they add audio for the machines lol
-
Old is gold.
-
Love these old films of our past. Thanks.

You could always spot an oil drip pan under new BMC vehicles on the showroom floor. They continue to drip oil for the rest of their life. Engine oil was relatively cheap back then. I never experienced a drip from my later Japanese vehicles, not one drop for all the time I had them!

What those guys would think if they saw all that production hardware replaced with a couple cnc machines nowadays. The fun it must be when a cutter breaks somewhere in the middle of that huge mechanism. Or they have to move a hole a tenth of an inch.

Whoa!! Cincinnati Machine Tools!!!
-
Nationalization! Along with Rover and Jaguar. They were brought together under the Leyland umbrella and nationalized in 1975 to form British Leyland. ( I believe)

Впечатляет,как для 50 года
-
Super
-
I´d like to know what was the service availability of the plant, the waste rate and first of all how did they get rid of all the oily metal shavings.
-
Excellent.
-
The music reminds me of Thunderbirds, I wonder if Gerry Anderson was influenced
-
Listening to the audio track of the incessant "dry-drill syndrome" while machining the block is totally annoying to me. I retired as a machinist after 47 years and have often told the younger machinists that if the tool isn't cutting, it's just rubbing.... which means it's wearing out without any value to the effort.

Cool video, but the squealing drill sounds dubbed in make me cringe.
