Car - Factory - Engine testing 1903 Canvas Print
Colourized photo from 1903
Original title: The testing room, Leland & Faulconer Manf
Location: Detroit, Mi
Henry Leland, originally worked with Henry Ford when he was very young. Before assembly lines were invented by Henry Ford, Leland invented universal parts. Before, each engine was created one by one, and nothing really matched. Leland created stock parts that made it a lot easier to repair.
He used to work in a gun factory, and learned how to machine parts, which he then later used to build his factory and his cars. As a demonstration he took two cars apart, mixed the parts and put it all back together again. The company earned the nickname, "the standard of the world".
The difference between Ford and LeLand's factory was their method of approach for assembly. Leland had one person standing in front of one item building it all. Ford moved the item to the person that specialised in that one job.
These engines by the way are single cylinder engines, and this is the room they test them. Exactly what they do I don't know, how caustic it was to be in there, I also don't know, it was dark though. I also don't know how they moved parts around, I assume it was done by hand.

The picture was as expected when creating the order. The frame is very strong and included a hook for ease of hanging. Printing was great! It was exactly as anticipated if not better.

Very impressive product! The canvas is sturdily made. It features a saw tooth hanger on the back, making it easy to "try out" the canvas in several rooms until I found the best location. It attracts good comments from my friends. I love it! The printing is wonderful! Colors are as bright and crisp as they appeared on the website.

I bought this for our own home. It turned out beautifully, and I would recommend it to anyone who has concerns about the quality of the product. The printing turned out perfect. I did have some concerns how printing would turn out. Would the colors be accurate to the original painting's colors ? Yes. Would the sides look right? Yes. Would the bend affect the presentation? No, it's beautiful.
I took these pictures hurriedly, on a dark, rainy day, and the room is not particularly light any time. Regretfully, the photos do not do justice to the artwork.
