BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/

What charming film footage. It makes a great hobby to find an old toy car, strip it down and repaint and restore them to as new condition 😀 makes a great display when finished.

Can you imagine? "You want me to put those things in these things? Haven't you got workers to do that sort of thing? ... I was hired as one? I thought you just wanted me to wander around looking gorgeous!"
Very interesting on how Matchbox Cars were made back then.
My haven, still love them.
I expect this must be the Lesney factory on the edge of Hackney marshes. We used to live about half a mile away. My mum worked there but I can't pick her out in the film. She used to bring home some of the discarded seconds for me. I had a bucket full of Matchbox cars.
Very nice you can tell a lot of passion went into making them!
I love matchbox cars!
I need a time machine.

Great footage. Those lovely cars were my favourites in my childhood. I’m a huge fan of the 1-75 line up of the 70s.
Neat. Filling each die with a kitchen ladle? And the women sorting (they all looked so nice) must have had a lot of splinters from lack of gloves.
0:30 die making. That explains why panel lines were often raised on die cast models and plastic model kits, I'd often wondered.

Awesome i love watching videos like this, 2024 and they're STILL Interesting!

This is fantastic 👍
Excellent !!
I bet those Coronation coach models are worth a fortune now.

Would like this to have been a far more detailed look at how these die-cast models are made from start to finish.

Great film, these classic diecast cars just have something that modern diecast is lacking, perhaps being designed by a Human verses a CAD Computer ?
@crystalc1ear

I think it is the fact that they are now made using cheap materials and cheap labour in China and lack the passion and care that domestic workers had. BTW CAD still requires a human designer, it can't be done by a computer (yet).

CAD is not the problem, the problem some times are the designers of some cars, because actually we can find great castings in the mainline of matchbox and other ones that are bad.. That happends too in those old years of 60s, so many great castings and also there was bad castings and the problem was originated by the designer. So CAD is not the problem.

Eeee ... them were the days!!
I have in mind; running a hobby store, that's why I mentioned 1/24th scale die cast metal models.
great! thx
Very cool 👍
I would love to get my hand on the moulds.
Good old times
There would be a time machine, for a week to fly in this factory of cars-to type, for memory!
My Nan worked in the Lesney's factory (Matchbox) I wonder if she's in this film?
Love you
Kenapa matchbox yg model vintage&classic Cars tidak beredar di Indonesia?padahal banyak penggemarnya.....
Realmente very good working 👍👌👷🏢💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Could you imagine getting a nice one made of that wonderful shiny metal, and ornately painted wheels with a streamlined foundation and a pop of color in them (like a 1937 Packard rim set) or some other fancy grand choice to separate from the chromed surface of the body. Oh I'd be real swell if they would of done that, but the companies of China decided to destroy MatchBox, aaand real automobiles to the plastic nightmare melting pancakes on ugly wheels you see today.
wow respect these guys who used no CAD 😢. legendary! catia, nx etc.. these are your great great grandfather ya.😊
Proper, realistic looking toy cars. None of that plastic cartoony rubbish you see on toy shelves now.
Imagine one of those hot workers bringing home one piece at a time and it won't cost you a dime....
