Vintage Trade Education Films

[Bugatti Fan]

When I was an Engineering Apprentice back in the 60's the UK technical college I attended occasionally showed very old American trade short films. One was about the basics of centre lathe turning. There was a narrator on film along with the machine operator.

Well, we all had a bit of a laugh when the narrator asked the machine operator about being ready to start. At this point the operator said  with over exaggerated enthusiasm 'Yep, I'm all set and just raring to go!' The fact that he was dressed in striped overalls and a Casey Jones style engineers cap made it all the more hilarious for us young apprentices to watch!
