Ég sendi gömlum vini mínum í Ohio sem vann í LORDSTOWN þessar myndir, og fékk þetta til baka.
Hi --
These guys had to work FAST to get their PART
installed onto a car. The CARS were always moving , Even when an
ENGINE is installed into the FRAME area , BUT the MOTORS were
installed BEFORE the BODY was put on the cars sometimes. I
worked in the LORDSTOWN OHIO , CHEVY--FIREBIRD automobile
Factory from late 1966, until early 1970 . For a long time ,we
only had 45 Seconds to do our job. One job i had was to install 4
Spark wires, the Distributor Wire, two RADIO ground straps ,
and install two bolts onto a MOTOR , when it came down the
assembly line. I would put the FRONT two wires onto the PLUGS on
one side , then under the bottom clip, then put these TWO wires
into the Right holes. Then i would step to the Other side and do
the same thing again. After the last 2 wires were in place, then i
would hook up the 2 brass ground straps that was for the RADIO .
All this had to be done in LESS than 60 SECONDS. THAT was for a
V-8 motor . For a 6 Cylinder, i had to install all 6 wires and
get them into the Right holes or the car would not start right at
the End of the Assembly line if one of the Wires was in the wrong
hole . ALL this time , the Motors were Moving , and Hanging from
an overhead chain assembly that was on a big Track . At that time
there was a NEW finished CAR going off the END of the Assembly
line ,every MINUTE .At that time , it took at least 18 to 20
hours from START to Finish to complete an Automobile .With a lot
of cars on each line ,all through the plant, it took that amount
of time to do one CAR .
