Fabulous old Philips footage. I'm currently restoring a 1929 Philips Model 2510 which is featured in this film, as are its E442, E415 and C443 valves! There is even footage of the making of the Philips "Sevenette" speaker that goes with it. I'm restoring that too! Thank you for posting this video.

This was high tech work back in the day... like working in semiconductor fabrication today. The people who busted their asses to keep food on the table during the 1930s were hardcore no-nonsense bad asses who would have eaten the current generations for lunch. They were some amazing people, if you took the time to talk to them. I miss the ones I had the opportunity to know. God forbid we ever see times like this again, as people without their modern conveniences would be throwing themselves in front of trains, off buildings and into the ocean.

Back when industry was strong, people worked hard in those days, bring back the 12 hour shifts, most of these workers walked to work did a 12 hour shift and walked home, bathed in a tin in front of the coal fire. These are the days people hark back to whilst watching this on their ultra modern phones and tablets all made in China, where they work much shorter hours and have too much time on their hands to talk about the good old day's. Life was over when you were 50, you paid cash to see the Dr or suffered in silence, you either worked or starved, and if you lost a finger at work you got a few quid and you were replaced, then you had to find a job where having a missing finger wasnt a problem. Wages were low and life was hard lol

Vacuum tubes (valves) this documentary showing Phillips manufacturing in the earlier era of tubes its incredible and reminds us of how complicated it was to manufacture. I wonder what one of the factory workers were paid and what the retail on one of those tubes were? You can see why transistors and integrated circuits were so rapidly adapted and how it lowered the price of electronics. Tube TV sets were around $300 in 1950s money, and today they're less in today's inflated currencies. (How much in bitcoins) Now audiophiles and musicians want to tube equipment so they've inflated the price of used tubes beyond belief.

The factories got occupied by the Germans. The Allied forces bombed the factories for that reason, multiple times. On 6 December 1942 a bombardment took out a large part of the city, killed many people and caused a lot of damage. But the factories were repaired and most of the buildings that this little movie shows, are still there to this day. There's nothing left of Phillips though; the buildings are all used for other purposes now.
