Headlights, Bumpers and Components on Ford Assembly Line, 1938
Add to SetSummary
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 the new River Rouge complex with extensive conveyer systems to accommodate the flow of parts and assembly processes. 120 miles of conveyer crisscrossed the Rouge Plant, including the overhead section seen here.
