A lot of folks for sure have seen the "birth of a sewing machine" film from the Singer plant.

Here is another one from the Rast & Gasser sewing machine plant in Austria.

Fascinating. The foundry work, mold-making and casting was particularly interesting, thanks Constabulary.:specool:

That second one was interesting. I liked the sort of open frame stands they had to assemble the machines. Around 11:30.

@Constabulary I really enjoyed those video's. A bygone time when there was pride in workmanship right down to the making of needles. Notice the overhead drive system for the lathes etc.
