circa 1958.
This takes about 1/2 hour and you will probably need DSL or similar connection but it's really interesting. Enjoy!

Dang, that was cool. I bet someone could call the year of filming. Thanks for uncovering this gem!

Super! Thanks for posting the link. These were oldies ... at least one of them had an unspring rear end ... no swingarm. Post WWII, barely?? My guess.

Great films trisuz! I like the torque wrench's they used { or rather didn't use} but when that guy grabbed that other guy's tail light I was wondering why there weren't any women in this film. :-D :-D I think now I should be able to assemble my old bike in a half hour after watching this. The BSA film was interesting also.

That was a pretty good find. Where those T6 Thunderbirds being assembled?

I noticed that Triumph put center stands on their bikes back then. The film makes you appreciate the history of the Triumph more. Great engineering and machinery work.

Thanks

Wow, folks sure had a lot of patience back then. That intro was excruciating! Good stuff though.
