Interesting video of Federal Sign and Signal's factory in the 50s

Thu Jun 18, 2015 3:41 pm

I came across this and found it very interesting. In the beginning you can see a bumble bolt the later they go into Federal's factory see some pretty neat stuff. No dual tone Thunderbolts.

Cool beans, now all we need is B & N or ACA. Or Sterling, i would settle for Sterling.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

I uploaded that, as a matter of fact. I got it from Will Treace ages ago and I noticed at the time it wasn't on youtube, so I put it up. When I uploaded it, I thought it was the neatest thing in the world. It's definitely a very rare video in my opinion at least.

The guy greasing the thunderbolt rotator has always been my favorite part of that film.
