Early Motorcycle Manufacturing | Part 1

A real #throwbackthursday with this archive gem from the Duke Video vault. Part 1 of a film showing how Rudge (?) 4-Valve bikes were built back in what looks like the late 1920s. No sound, but a fascinating film all the same!

Hi Duke. It is a Rudge. External valve gear so dates it to pre 35. Front mag means 20's. Rim brakes means pre 28. External oil pump also means pre 28. The exhaust system silencing and no footboards means post 26. Which leaves... Production year with Rudges though didn't change on NYE, I think it was July. So although its a 27 model, this could have been filmed in 1926. If you have any more, or a full film of Rudge production I know a group keen to see it. Thanks for posting. Andy.

Great film, miraculously preserved. The factory made its own valves! What didn't they manufacture?

Looked like a woman operating the spline-cutting machine, which would have been unusual I suspect?

No wonder the things leaked ! No form of sealant/gasket was used on the gearbox casings.
