The tooling boggles the mind. Engineering those machines and processes along with designing the cars, it's a wonder anything gets built.

I liked the guy adjusting valves. He looked like a hotrodder!

Some of those jobs - can you imagine the boredom of putting a rivet in a plate, waiting for the press, all day, every day? How insignificant it could make you feel? Putting food on the table had a much much higher cost back then!

It's easy to see why unions were such a vital part of the industrialization of the US. Plenty of opportunity in that factory to take advantage of the workforce.

(Note to self: remember this, you have an easy life.)
