Thanks for posting that, it is truly amazing with lots of Studebaker content.
I could not find any acknowledgement at the beginning or end, of all the Co's, Agency's, People that contributed though. It must have been Cut at the end.StudeRich

Operating a forging hammer is one of the inner circles of blue collar work hell.

Did any other manufacturers use forged cranks in either 1955 or 56? I assume they are in the Studebaker foundry but can anybody confirm that?Last edited by bezhawk; 02-17-2022, 08:50 AM.Bez Auto Alchemy

In 1955 I suspect the Studebaker was, like its driver, the prettiest model selected for the film, not because it had any relationship to the subject of the film.
I did enjoy the whole thing but, then again, my favorite TV show as a kid was "INDUSTRY ON PARADE."Brad Johnson,

I remember going with my dad in 1956 to his job at Lakey Foundry in Muskegon MI.
Never went inside but waited for him in the car, and those huge drop forge hammers would BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! so hard I could feel the ground shake.
He worked there and my uncles at Continental Motors and the Campbell, Wyant, and Cannon Foundry.
Lot of good old American iron came out of those places.

Very interesting. I planned only to watch "the Studebaker" content but ended up watching the whole film. The announcer's voice took me back to classroom in the 50s. Do you think the guys operating those hammers developed hearing loss?Don Wilson, Centralia, WA
