A Scrapbook of Ford in Britain - 1959

This film shows the history of Ford between 1911 and 1959 in the context of world events of that period. It starts with Theodore Roosevelt on safari in Africa, whilst in the UK, the Trafford Park Ford plant was opened, producing Model Ts. It ends with the launch of the Ford Anglia 105E set against the launch of the SRN1, the world's first practical hovercraft.

The "production line" was used by Crossley in Manchester for their vehicle and gas engine manufacture, which Ford visited and took note of.
