Tour of Indian bike factories

The means of producing bikes in India, much of it still being produced on the
machinery purchased from the UK during the 1950’s is the most fascinating,
amusing, bewildering and highly interesting you will see.
Would you like to see a large sheet of metal turned into a massive length of chain?
Or a long length of steel plate turned into a wheel rim?
Perhaps you would be interested to see what is called ‘open hearth brazing’?
