Lucas Factory

Hi Everyone,
I am currently developing, researching and writing a television factual-drama based on the Aston years of Ozzy Osbourne (1948-1968). I understand that he (and his mother) worked at the Lucas factory in Birmingham around 1966-68 as a car horn tuner/tester. I wondered if anyone on here worked / or had friends or relatives that worked at the Lucas factory, and could offer me any insight into exactly what the factory was like; what his job would have entailed; how many other people would have worked on the assembly line with him; what his workspace would have looked like; and what his typical working hours would have been.

George.
