    Back then I was a barefoot boy of 4 in Florida and my father worked on these cars in his repair shop. Earlier he was in the Air Service repairing planes in France, during The Great War.

    That was superb. It amazed me to see how much automation there was of the frame assembly - though still with guys standing alongside wielding the occasional hammer blow for 'fine adjustment'.

    Also interesting to see that even in 1936 the big presses had four operator safety switches - two hands each for the two operators needed to load/unload the press.

    Wow, Actual people working in America.

    Men working, paying taxes on their wages, keeping out country strong.

    What the hell happend??????????????????????????????

    I worked at General Motors Boxwood road plant in Wilmington Delaware back in the mid 60's. No robots, Humans did the work and the economy was great. Now the auto plants in Wilmington and Newark are all shut down. All of the jobs went to Canada and Mexico. If it was not for the Japs & Germens having auto plants in America nobody would be working at all.
