BSA Factory film 1950s

Great BSA factory film from their heyday

[John Wakefield]

Great, sadly they dont make films like that these days

[Dogsbody]

Noticeable that the fitters, inspectors et al wore shirt and tie as an indication of their status as skilled men. Even at the sports day all were smartly dressed unlike todays youth.

Count me as one of today's youth then. I haven't worn a jacket and tie since the day I retired six years ago.

What's a tie?

[IanCordes]

It is what you secure your bike with in the van, isn't it?

One clip I always like is the one with an Indian chap lining an Enfield tank. Fairly modern of course but done exactly as it would have been done in Bracebridge Street or Armoury Road. I like his little smile at the end - and no tie!

True craftsman at work, very focused on the job & done right first time. Note also.. no mess!
I’d be happy for the fella to line my Roadster tank any day of the week.

Reminds me of my first factory job in the UK. Two geezers in the background doing naff all while one guy does the work. He is good though isn't he?

What's a factory?
I looked it up in the dictionary
'a building or set of buildings where large amounts of goods are made using machines'

'Large amounts of goods'
I don't think we have such things in this country, sounds all very nasty.

Most new trials bikes seem to advertise "Factory Racing"......I'm not sure how they fix the wheels to the walls nor who has to push very hard, but it sound exciting... Must use a very big track!

[shelly]

Perhaps they have a track on the roof like the old Fiat car factory

[KevinLS]

Err, perhaps they mean Factory Lacing?
