This You Tube video follows a 1911 receiver from a raw forging through machining, fitting, assembling, test firing and shipping at the Union Switch and Signal factory in Swissvale Pennsylvania during WWII. Its a very interesting color film that even gives the acceptable accuracy that the pistol must achieve before being shipped.
Be advised: there is no audio! Semper Fi, Treetop

An entire rack was sitting in the dunk tank of oil at the end of the video. Afterwards they were taken out to drip dry and be wrapped and boxed
At about that point in the video, I was drooling all over my keyboard, beechbum! Treetop
