Hames are a vital part of a working horse's harness and in these days of robot assembly lines, the process of making a "Show" hame by hand from a flat sheet of brass is a fascinating demonstration of the metal working skills that made the English Midlands famous as the Workshop of the World.
Recorded at Walsall Lock & Cart Gear Ltd. in 1986, just before closure after 113 years of trading.
