How a Bicycle is Made - 1945
About the film
The design and manufacture of Raleigh bicycles, as told by a designer to a father and son.
'The process of manufacture is traced from the beginning; the design on paper and the raw materials. We see what goes to make the steel tubes of the frames, the handle bars, the gear wheels, the pedal cranks, the pedals, the spokes, the wheels and the hubs, until at last the complete bicycle is ready for testing.'
(Films of Britain - British Council Film Department Catalogue - 1946)
This film is set in the Raleigh bicycle factory which stood on Triumph Road in Nottingham. The site was demolished in 1996, and is now the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham.
