A film released on 1945 talking about the design and manufacture of bicycles.
The film is set in the Raleigh bicycle factory in Nottingham, UK.

Raleigh branding on the front chain rings? Amalgamation already happening in those early days.

I only watched a few minutes of the video but I was expecting Harry Enfield to pop up at any time.

Absolutely no evidence of the English class system at work in this video.

The small boy featured could quite have easily come from any standard household in Chelsea or Knightsbridge.

I wonder how a video from a Taiwanese factory from 2006 would compare.
