Nice bit of PR spew on that plaque. Meanwhile, I don't recall if it was the Ward book about Packard, or elsewhere, stated that in 55 Conner was running 2 9hr shifts all week and 3 Saturdays per month, and management was constantly screaming for more output. The manager of the "modern" Conner plant's reply was "we can build 25 cars an hour, and none of them will pass inspection"
