1950 Film of Match Factory my Grandfather Spend 36 Years Working In.


Just found a film of the same match factory in Poland that my grandfather worked in

He was employed there from 1922 until 1958. He was a machinist. He passed away in 1961.

I never met my grandfather,so this film was a real eye opener for what working life for him was like.

Funny how things work,my father was a machinist /tool and die maker, and so was I.

Such a small insignificant  item...a match...but someone has to make it.

I was really surprised at the efficiency and machine workings of the factory....didn't expect that for a match factory in 1950.

The company is still making matches today in the same city.

Film is 4:05 min.

I've been an IT/computer guy for 30+ years and have a good understanding of how they work.

Many people think computers are magical and mysterious. They're really not.

What I find amazing is the machines like these in old and new factories. This is where the real "magic" is.
