Title: Ford assembly line
Creation Date:
3/16/1953
Media Type: Photographic Prints
Source: Automobile Reference Collection
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."
