I found it interesting,

If you look at the machinery the amount of adjustments on the M/C's that must have needed maintenance..

The pin forming on the base all bent to the correct angle for the connections..

Then again the woman with the tweezers welding the cage to the base..imagine doing that for an eight hour night shift..

That type of manual work is entirely what many Chinese do today, like winding transformers for phone chargers. It's a boring low paid job, ironic that the UK is full of potential free labour that we pay to sit at home and watch Sky.

In a typical English (Pye, Bush etc) table-top radio of the 1950s every single element of that radio was made in England - I know as I have a couple, it's an eye opener seeing the 'Made in England' on everything!
