Nearing the end of the film the commentator says the sets are not lifted by hand during production but the chassis was fitted by hand to the cabinet and pushed into place by the woman's stomach on the back of the tube. Note also the lack of protective clothing/goggles etc. when handling tubes and in other processes. We didn't have 'elf-n-safety in those days.
