Peterborough Diesel Story

Peterborough, "one of the most prominent industrial centres in Britain" and a Cathedral considered "one of the finest in Europe," - Perkins' customers need to hear more about it!

Perkins were masters of promotion and with customers worldwide, the company Film Unit was always busy filming the factory at work and landmark events to shout about the company's success. With aerial filming and shots from locations around the world showing Perkins engines in action, it seems no expense was spared in this production. Focus was on the world class Perkins engines produced on up to date, automated assembly lines with meticulous quality control.

At the time of this film, F Perkins Ltd. was the biggest employer in Peterborough.
