Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 13, 2019 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 13, 2019 Apropos of our recent "Plane Trains Automobiles" contest, here is a great industrial film made by GM in 1959 to give a sense of the process by which a new car is brought from the drawing board to the production line. Full-size clay model at 3:10 The drawing room at 5:25 ! All splines made with "french curves" I particularly like the robotic butt machine that tests the upholstery at 8:20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry, I'm sure the cigarettes got them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
