Re: Magnatex US Jerrycans British assembly
Thanks for sharing that very interesting historical information.
I confirm that the video cannot be viewed from outside the UK, even from Europe.
Too bad.
Will try again through a Proxy or a VPN.

Re: Magnatex US Jerrycans British assembly
Sorry you cant see it guys, Yves let me know how it works with a proxy server, not something I have any experience with.
I will see what I can do this end.
It is a great movie so worth the effort.
The Ameri-cans were shipped in 4 sections handle, top,bottom and middle . The hole for the burp tube was punched here and the tube spot welded into place. The Pol tag section was clipped out from the handle and the handle fixed with 14 spot welds.The middle section was pressed into shape over here from flat steel. The welding was all done by wheel. Sides first and then the top added, then testing with 10lbs of air pressure in a water bath. The bottom is fitted ,rolled joint is formed and then welded and then tested in another water bath. The movie shows the insides being sprayed and inspected. Externally the can is dipped and drenched in red primer and then oven baked and then dipped and drenched in OD.

Re: Magnatex US Jerrycans British assembly
It doesn't work via a proxy located in the UK.
There is no error message, only a black video screen.
Don't know why they restrict the viewing of that type of historical film that are supposed to be free for viewing .
I'm not home right now, but I will try later via a VPN and see if the movie can be downloaded via the Downloadhelper plugin under Firefox.

Re: Magnatex US Jerrycans British assembly
Thank you for the screen captures.
I've tried to view the film through a VPN located in the UK. Unsuccessful.
Again a black screen but this time with kind of a rotating hourglass .

Re: Magnatex US Jerrycans British assembly
Pictures are in order of production and notes are under the picture. I have missed out some key areas such as the de-greasing and some inspections.
