The Prewar Morris Minor

1929.....the film opens to the sound of a shunting yard, then the foundry, pretty much was done in house back then , engine casting and assembly and other mechanical assembly, then scenes of the press shop, road testing the chassis, right though to delivery of the cars.
The chassis erection shop, looks particularly primitive to me, although the film boasts that it's the best in Europe .

Interesting to see how they fitted the tyres with the inner tubes inserted onto the wheels and then fitted the whole lot onto the wheel without any tyre levers. I wonder if the rubber was more compliant back then as it is an effort to fit tyres these days, although if that task is being performed all day long the technique would soon be learned.
The brake adjustment was very crude!
Great to see how quick & easy the cars were constructed, thanks for sharing.

This video is very special to me as my father's first car was a 1929 Morris Minor, which he bought just before the war started.
It was probably in poor condition and very much out of date at ten years old but it got him moving.

Nothing like the frantic pace of Ford's River Rouge plant
