What a splendid list of films, and what hard work must have been involved. Please can you tell this less than confident computer strangler how we can get access to them?

Steve - if you click on this link:

you will be taken to the film section of the Archive web site. All the films are shown by a 'still' and a description. Simply clicking on the image for your chosen film will start it running...

These are wonderful! Well done to all concerned.

[Steve kay]

Slightly delayed but great thanks to both for instructions on how to access the splendid film archive.

Thanks fellahs

The old films of industry are fascinating as no shields to block the view; industrial accidents and health effects must have been on a grand scale. The forged metal is mightily worked. In the diff casting (presumably malleable iron) what were the pins inserted?
I have seen steel flowing as water at local steel plant and it is an impressive sight. I trust whoever designed the hook for the molten steel bucket was not the steering arm designer.

My continued congratulations to everyone involved in the archive.
The amount of work involved in this important preservation must be huge.
And they remind us of the days when our doors lined up with the body...
