Notes:

This is mass production -- 1913 style! The moving assembly line, basis

of mass production, was introduced by Henry Ford that spring. In August, the

principle was applied to the chassis assembly. One month later, when this photo

was taken at Ford Motor Company's Highland Park, Mich., plant, Model T assembly

time had been cut from 14 hours to 93 minutes.
