No earplugs, but they did have quad hands-on safety buttons for those larger presses.

Interesting. Didn't know Ford had a straight six in 1936...

They didn't, until 1941. I noticed the same thing. It's not a Ford, but I can't pin down what it is. Cars looked a lot alike in the mid-'30s.

My bet is on a Desoto.

Beautiful film - did anyone else think of Fritz Lang's 1927 "Metropolis"?

But..., I've already viewed it twice already. Who cares, its ugly.

The part where they are pressing the frame parts, I can't see what's going on.

Looks like in another part, they are riveting or spot welding the frames together and have spinning power shafts to clamp the frame straight and or force for the riveter?

But the Desoto had wings too looks like on the hood ornament. Noticed the star, wonder if there where any crosses on cars... Which brings up something I have noticed living up here and can't figure out. On houses and buildings there are three dimensional 5 pointed stars made out of tin I assume. Maybe like stars for family in and or lost in the service?

Somebody mentioned that their father worked on the Avro Arrow Project. There was an obituary appeared recently in the the Hamilton Spectator (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada):

William (Bill) Arthur Middleton, P.Eng., passed away August 4, 2011, in his 93rd year.

I wonder if your Dad kew him?

Take care.

I wonder if his iron ring went back to be added to the next melt. It's what is supposed to happen to them. I've asked my kids to send mine back to the University Of Saskatchewan, when I finally turn my toes up.
