Photos of the Hoover Constellation Globe Shape Being Made

While the associated text is sort of ho-hum (except for those who like industrial talk), the newly found rare pictures of the factory stamping out Constellations are super cool...

Very cool...and speaking my language. Wherever you find this stuff, keep 'em coming, Robert & Fred.

Constellation

It is so cool to see those spheres on the overhead conveyor

Interesting too the closing comment that a skilled employee assembles the entire cleaner, as we have (UK) footage showing the production line for Convertible/Senior where it is a production line with the cleaners on a conveyor and the workers constantly repeat the same operation. I wonder why they chose this different organisation for the Constellation?

Wonderful reading!

Thanks Robert, It is sad though, when you think about the real craftsmanship we have lost.
