Fun film! (albeit a bit slow) Made me think of the film Glass by Bert Haanstra which was made in 1958.

Holy ****! that is incredibly amazing how deep the video went, all 30mins of it.

Yes, isn't it insane how much hands-on assembly was required from start to finish? No way this kind of level of craftsmanship can be achieved again (at least, for a reasonable price). Makes me want to grab another pair of Mullards! Did you see the 17th minute, where that worker welds those tiny tiny multiple welds in blazing time? Man, a lost artform!

Thanks for the link Jahn. Reminds me of my childhood in greater London. Brownstones.......

Some ECC82 mullard owner may just have seen his tube on this old film - thanks for the post - very informative!

Good stuff !! This film also illustrates why the 50's were the start of economic boom times. All those factories and all those jobs created by one company in one country to supply just parts for a larger radio and television manufacturing industry.
