old films

[jimbob]

I don't know if I've reinvented the wheel but I found some interesting old films. Google PATHE NEWS and the site for routers comes up and search for for tobacco

Great find ... the first one I clicked showed a giant pipe carried by ladies in a field of tobacco!

I thought the 1922 UK cooperative, where you can send you leaf to be cured in a steam room for 6 months interesting.
The plants at harvest time were squat. Mich shorter than I'd imagined

It would be interesting to know what variety it showed being harvested, they looked more like over grown cabbage, as for the film about the co-op I have seen that complete with soundtrack but can't remember where
