Ford production principles book

Post by dykker5502 » Thu Mar 03, 2022 4:42 pm

At some point, a book was produced, that described all the principles behind the assmeble line production and production in general of Ford cars.
I just can't remember the title, so can someone help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks John. I was looking for that also. :)
The photos might be a little better on the archive. ;)
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated

Michael
Ford Methods and Ford Shops authored by Arnold and Faurotte was published in 1915 by the Engineering Magazine. The authors were granted full and unfettered free access to the Ford production facility at Highland Park. It is important to know this book is only a snap shot of Ford's production line at the time and much of it was subsequently changed or update as things progressed.
FM & FS was also republished in 1919 by the Engineering magazine as part of their Engineering Management Library.
Original copies commonly appear for sale (ABE.com) on the internet. There is one available on ABE now and priced at $500. First editions usually are very pricy at $300 to $500 depending upon condition.
The photos in the original copies are very good. There are also reprints available very cheaply but the quality of the photographs is reduced.
