The post below on manufacturing companies got me to thinking about a DVD I sent away for years ago. I loaned it out to somebody and never saw it again unfortunately. The movie was called Earthworm Tractors and the main guy was an actor/comedian by the name of Joe E Brown, he was in a lot of stuff back in the day. Apparently, factory shots in that movie were filmed in the actual Caterpillar plant, maybe in Peoria, Illinois I think. Here's a Wiki link to tell you about it.
If you google the movie title on a You Tube link, you can watch the whole movie, it's just over an hour long. A bit corny by today's standards of films but a pretty neat story. I remember the salesman's favorite saying when answering a question about his product being something like .... "Well, sometimes yes and sometimes no" ..... ha, I guess that covered all his bases.
