This picture is from the Adelaide engine assembly plant 1954. It may be another GMH plant but was definately 1954. The picture was published courtesy of GMH pic has also been posted on oldholden at some stage

Hi Guys
It has to be Fishermans Bend (Port Melbourne), thats the only place where engines were built.
It also has to be late 1952 or early 1953. The reason for the two differently coloured starters & generators, is that this was the changeover period from red (Delco Remy) to black (Bosch)electical units.
The photo may have been published in 1954, but it must have been taken at least a year earlier.
Dr Terry
