Fascinating stuff. Every time I see something like that, I wonder who sat down and said 'okay, let's see, if I make a machine that can do this, and another one that can do that, we can make THIS', then did it.
I am also amazed at the engineering to get it to all work right. And the increase in production must be incredible. Imagine how many people were needed to do the same thing and probably much slower too.
Thanks for posting - very interesting. Vastly complex MFG process - the amount of effort, time and energy to setup a finely-tuned operation would be staggering.
