Preparing Car Bodies for Painting, Ford Rouge Plant Assembly Line, 1940
01
Artifact Overview
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. These workers inspect vehicles on the body assembly line. From here, bodies moved along to the paint shop.
