Title: Ford assembly line

Media Type: Photographic Prints

Notes:

Far removed from the days of Henry Ford's first conveyor, mechanical

arms now move six-cylinder overhead-valve engines into position for assemblers

at Ford Motor Company's engine plant at Cleveland. Such refinements as this

"Ford first" emphasize anew Mr. Ford's personal definition of mass production:

"Craftmanship with the drudgery taken out of it."
