Workers on Assembly Line at Ford Motor Company Rouge Plant, 1932

Engineers at Ford's Highland Park plant had fine-tuned the moving assembly line. With this experience in hand, Ford created the "B" Building at its new River Rouge complex with extensive conveyer systems to accommodate the flow of parts and assembly processes. Here, line workers prepare chassis on the assembly line before they are coupled with their respective bodies.
