Tonawanda Foundry
I've been sorting through old paperwork, and came across these manpower schematics from back when I was superintendent of production at the Tonawanda MCP. I thought that some on this site might be interested in seeing the labor that went into the process. The drawings brought back some fond memories :-) Not very "high tech" back then!
I have schematics for every operation in the entire plant - here are just a couple of the engine block lines in the finishing department. Looks like about 41 employees to fully man each of the finishing operations on one shift. Also, note the "weld booth" where broken castings were repaired (most commonly on the intake manifold rail).
