Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's mass production methods depended on precision parts and tooling, and precision depended on exact measurements. Accuracy was so important that Henry Ford purchased C.E. Johansson, Inc. -- a Swedish company famous for its precision measuring instruments -- in 1923. Ford moved the company, complete with founder Carl Johansson, to Dearborn, Michigan.
