The part that surprised me most was the facts about the early assembly buildings in Mpls and St Paul that were used to build "T"s. Now I'm going to have to check out the remaining building.

Good video! Just finished watching it. An education for all us non-Ford employees! For what it's worth, the same on the job race and gender biases occurred out here on the West Coast, in all types of jobs from hamburger joints to large factories.

By the way, does anyone still have one of those Metric screwdrivers?

Thanks for the details. When I went there from about '88 to '92, they were building F-series and Rangers.

I used to joke, you could make a briggs and stratton motor go 100mph with enough gears.


10 gears is amazing. It's rethinking hp over gearing. I do like hp, but respect gearing.
