In Rangoon, capital of Burma, Indian other ranks (IORs) of 60 Indian Workshop Company of the Indian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (IEME) assemble a jeep in double quick time.

A series of close-ups showing the jeep's engine being lowered onto the chassis, the front axle assembly being positioned, the rear axle being positioned, a rear wheel fitted (with close-up of nuts being tightened), the radiator being lowered into position, water poured into the radiator, the bonnet being shut, and the jeep driving out of shot.

Notes

Taken with JFU 426, which provides a continuous shot of the jeep being assembled, this film gives a good impression both of the proficiency of the IEME, and of the simple, functional design of the jeep.
