labouring at T.D. Cross...
...or at Bayliss-Wiley -
in the 1960 film "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" the young protagonist, portrayed by Albert Finney, is seen at his work as he rectifies the races on cottered bottom bracket spindles. a supervisor passes by his station as he examines his finished parts. appears to have been filmed in an actual machine shop rather than at a made up set. gives a good glimpse of what a production facility looked like in this epoch.

Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.
Ha-ha. 
I run a T.D.C. track cog on my fixed gear bike, and it's the smoothest, quietest cog I own.
FWIW, T.D.C. is still in business; just not the bicycle business. They make gears and such for heavy industrial equipment.
