Ford plant post cards, 1917

Thanks, that's great!

I liked the description "A jungle of belts and shafting". Imagine keeping that running! And the consequences of a failure that would shut down that entire section of production!

Oh, the good old days! LOL
 
Interesting, thanks. If you liked that showing, try "Wheels for the World", by Douglass Brinkley. In there is a recount of the B 24 wartime
effort Henry signed up for and the results. You can google map the assy plant and still see the marks from it's existance. Just amazing.
 
I have the same type of dental chair shown in the plant medical section.

When you see pics like the 2744 cars in the yard as one days production you know what killed the motorcycle industry. Over 200 American producers were out of business after that. For the price of a bike you could buy a car and take the whole family.
