Thanks Steve.
They had 2 versions. One for adults & one for kids. (I got one of each). They
were pretty similar (different narration mostly). It showed setting machines for
doors, trunk lids, and hoods.  The adult version showed a short clip using 
lasers
to check alignment & quality control. They had a short clip of Henry Ford's 
first
plant. Pretty good overall for 30 minutes long. I think it would satisfy most
people's curiosity. For me personally, it wet my appetite and now I want to see
more. I'd like to see how the setting machines & quality control dept. work in
detail. I would also be interested in seeing a comparison of assembly techniques
used in different time periods (30's,50's,70's, verse now). I'm glad you
mentioned it, I think I'll get the kids version for some of my nieces & nephews.
Who knows, maybe their parents might learn something too.(The kids version is
also cheaper $15 verse $20)

Think Media's phone number has changed but I found it on the web.

Thnaks again, Brian.
