On a lighter note given our dire times, here's a terrific film on the making of Colchester Lathes from (guessing) the 1950's to early 60's. Great amount of process detail shown, from patterns to casting to special machining ops.
An amusing note - it seems they liked to paint their in-house custom manufacturing tools a very bright gold color. I must say, it works.
About 27 minutes, and worth each one.
