In the Great War American machines have surpassed all in the work done under particularly exacting circumstances.
A glimpse of a Ford assembling room--and we can see the same process in other American factories--makes clear the reasons for this success.

In these rooms no fitting is done; the fragments of automobiles come in automatically and are simply bolted together.

First of all the units are assembled in their several departments.

The rear axles, the front axles, the frames, the radiators, and the motors are all put together with the same precision and exactness that marks the operation of the completed car.

Thus the wheels come from one part of the factory and are rolled on an inclined plane to a particular spot.
