1923 Ford Factory Safety Film; Safety Is Its Own Reward
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Pieced together from three different reels this 1923 Ford Factory Safety Film covers safety in and around the Ford factory. We did our best to clean up some poor quality video and to put things in the correct order. We tried our best to leave the film as it was originally released but some deteriorated sections were cut down, we also removed a couple minutes of redundant film or things that dragged on a little too long.
The safety tips in this film are 100 years old and while they may have been revolutionary for their time they are outdated and as such this video is being shared only for historical reference and not as any suggested or recommended safety practices.
A Model A is dedicated to the history of the Model A Ford using historical images and videos as well as modern resources.

Mooooore....
The safety buttons and switches meant nothing if you were doing piece work and the foreman was getting grief about output from the suits. Especially if it was 2nd or 3rd shift. My dad and others would screw with the safety stuff with the foreman doing a Sgt Schultz from Hogan Heros when needed. Stupid? Yes indeed. That was probably the norm until the early 80s where he worked. He was in his 50s by then. The only way to make money was to cheat the safety equipment when possible because he was slowing down. The place had something called the ammonia room with 2 blast doors, just in case. He was in there once and kicked a frayed power cord that touched a puddle of the stuff. That and the fumes almost got him killed. Took the skin off of one arm up to his neck. That was maybe in the early 70s. I don't remember him missing work from it. I do remember his arm being the color or my "D" icon circle to the left but a little bit more pink.

This was before OSHA and Union safety programs....Accidents always cost the company money....
Hand Tool Rescue "Rare Bow Chainsaw [Restoration]" kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZ6qmZeketzAZ7A.html at the 27:40 mark. He's joking, but it's a serious joke. His big thing is antique tool restoration with lead and asbestos in the tool. He takes it all seriously, but those he takes it most seriously.

Yes, Harry Bennett was Henry's "enforcer" and he was quick to solve a problem with his fist. Thanks for watching.
Why are your videos so old and not any new videos?
