Shell manufacturing during WWII

Take a look at this film to see how shells were produced during WW 2. Long before health and safety came to force!

That's brilliant hangarman, thanks for showing it.
Note how quickly they do the stamping and paint job!! Its not surprising some of the shells I have with original paint look rough!

Interesting video, although the shells seem to change size half way through.

Brilliant film.

I cringed when I saw what they were wearing! Dresses, high heals and bare legs in the forge room and no helmets, gloves or eye protection in sight (except once)

Very cool. Thanks for posting. I noticed teh shell size get smaller as teh video went on too... would have been real funny if they ended as rifle bullets being packed off!
