Charatan Factory, 1940s, from British Pathe

This one came up on another Forum and just seemed too good not to

spread around. For those who only know modern machinery,

it's a look at the days of belt drives and transmissions,

instead of individual motors.

Thanks for the link fred! It is great to see how they used to make pipes back in the day, and I would give anything for one of those bags of briar blocks.

Handmade pipes are still made that way now, Jeremiah.
That was how I made my pipe at Peter Heeschen's workshop.
