I've often thought of this sort of thing; the folks in the factory those many years ago, putting together a radio or an engine or whatever-they had their hands on something that we now treasure. Most of what they built is long gone. Many times I've had to stop and pause while working on something, to think of the folks back then on the assembly line.

I have been reading some books written by folks who worked in auto plants and one thing I get from that is their didn't seem to be much pride or thought of any kind to an individual unit. Tedium took over and that car or truck that we see as being so special was just another couple minutes hard work to them.
