Richardtr3a Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Great picture. It looks as if they are fitting the engine from underneath with the front panel in place. I always thought that the front panel was fitted after the engine installation. This must be a photo of your TV screen. The answer is in the title. It is a bit early for me. ??

john.r.davies Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Triumph used this method of assembly, with bodies being delivered by conveyor onto rolling chassis on another, for the 'small chassis'. The hall where it happened was called the Rocket Range. No doubt they developed it earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 In the early days of the club, Darryl Uprichard, founder & leader of the Thames Valley Group (the first Local Group, of which I was a founder member), organised a visit to Canley. TR6s were in production and, because of shortages of parts, a great many were parked round the estate, each with a bag holding a list of the parts which would need to be supplied and fitted before the vehicle could be finished. Most obvious missing items were the wheel nuts - 3 is sufficient in such circumstances. We wondered whether, when parts became available and the cars left the factory, might some items still be missing! I don't think that methods used in TR6 production differed greatly from those of the sidescreen cars. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iain Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) That looks like this film on you tube. Plenty to note including the various chassis colours......in black and white! Iain Edited February 2, 2021 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Excellent find. (With that number of workers milling around it reminds me of the "Bob have you got Bob's spanner?" sketch.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
