“Only slight knowledge and simple machinery went into the manufacture of the first Ford. No trained engineers were used. The frame of the car was moved manually; it helped that it could be lifted by two men. The modern auto factory, hi contrast, is itself a complex and closely articulated machine. Nothing is done by muscular effort. Computers control the flow of parts and components. Only the hideousness of the product, on occasion, reminds us that human beings are involved. We see here one reason for the increase in capitalization of Ford from £30,000 to £2,200,000,000.”
