Summary
Take a trip through life in one of the Ford Motor Company's largest complexes from the perspective of a skilled millwright. In this must-read book, Ralph Moore shows the reader what it's like to risk life and limb repairing and maintaining auto manufacturing equipment. The book also shows the social interactions between the different ethnicities working in the plant and how they could chide each other, but also collaborate. Readers will come to understand how changes in society are reflected in the work relationships between the author and his colleagues. If you have an interest in the history of auto manufacturing, or if you've ever wondered what it's like to work a job where you risk your physical safety every day in the service of the auto industry, this book is for you.
Author Biography
Ralph Moore spent over 33 years working for Ford Motor Company and Rouge Steel. During that time, he worked in more than 15 buildings at the Ford complex. As a millwright he faced numerous challenges as the company grew and society changed. After 26 years at Ford, he transferred to Rouge Steel where the dangers of the job were pervasive. Finally, after a career well spent, he retired and returned to the life he had left and loved best - being an "up north" outdoorsman.
