General Motors Plants Set the Standard to Meet the High-Volume of Car Production in the 1950's
General Motors Plants Set the Standard to Meet the High-Volume of Car Production in the 1950's
How do you sell a couple hundred million cars? Build them properly, and do it on a scale the would had never seen, that's how. Throughout its 100 plus years, General Motors consistently invested its profits in the world's best production engineering and machine tools. Back in the 1960's Gm was able to offer scores of options and color choices with most of its nameplates, and still get it right. That's a car-building machine for the ages.
Great production line video.
A typical universal milling machine of the early 20th century. Suitable for tool room, jobbing, or production use.
Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a work-piece by advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool.It covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.

Metal stamping products
Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages. The process is usually carried out on sheet metal, but can also be used on other materials, such as polystyrene. Stamping is usually done on cold metal sheet
