View of factory workers on assembly line for production of Packard Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engines. Label on back: "For the first time in aviation practice, Packard brings the assembly-line technique to the manufacture and finish of crankshafts for the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. On an overhead track the crankshafts move before a pattern of machines as each performs an operation pointing towards the finished product. Each shaft undergoes eighty-five operations, done on 108 separate machines."
