If you watch this fascinating video (not 1960 as titled on YouTube it's probably mid to late 60's ..Bomber... S series cars etc.) at time 12:50 they show a wheel rim manufacture in-house but I always thought that their rims were outsourced (DID etc) ?
The only non-D.I.D. rims I have on any of my Honda's that's OEM is on my '68 CD125A which is not stamped DID its stamped KAGA (I believe that some early Honda Benly's also had KAGA rims)

Wow. Can you imagine Triumph/BSA etc trying to compete with that. And Edward Turner after his visit to Japan said "He could see no threat from the Japanese". To be honest it looks like a factory from the 21st century, except for all the poor drones sitting at benches doing repetitive work.

Rims in a DID factory, in a Honda promo film ;)

Interesting video, I was trying to make out the NC machine manufacturers name plates, but very blurred. Did my apprenticeship with British Aerospace back in the 70's. The 'KAGA' branding on the early Honda wheels (as image, my CD175A sloper) Must have been an 'in house' thing, but still no idea what it means?
