Incredible footage. Rod, you'll especially appreciate this. Obviously, the secret to the pre-CBS mojo is zero eye and face protection...and going topless!:

Great footage! Especially liked seeing the worker sawing away excess wood from the headstock...

After they moved into the larger CBS plant (next to the original Fullerton "radio buildings") I believe left-hand instrument runs were only made once/twice a year after orders had accumulated. The assembly line would have to be retooled to accomodate production.
