<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9494595, member: 56"]I don't know how many pieces a person could produce in a shift. Not many, I should think, but they were big pieces and fairly expensive I imagine. This was all before computers, but you can bet the production was as automated as could be managed. There was one operator for the machine and a safe bet that the heavy physical labor was ensuring the supply of plastic and extracting the finished piece. As I said: it wasn't a job I did, so I'm not certain on the specifics. It was also a machine removed from the other production equipment, probably for the space required. It was in a portion of the building otherwise used for warehousing. The building was divided into warehousing and production areas. In that facility the other production was massive (to me) injection molders that produced garbage cans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
