Although made after the production of the Model A, the film is still of the same facility where they were built. Pretty amazing stuff for the time.

Toured the Ford plant in Richmond, Ca. in 1953, the technology was MIND BOGGLING!

There's a 1939 vintage official FORD Motor Company made documentary video that showed up recently on You-Tube. Found it interesting to see the dramatic labor saving advances in assembly line manufacturing when compared to another 1931 era made documentary also on You-Tube.

Visiting the River Rouge plant is high on my Bucket List.

At about the 3:10 mark into the film look at the worker in the arm just above the bucket as they are lifting the ore out of the ship!!
