Story I've shared on HN in the past. In the summer of '83, I did an internship at Kodak. I worked at the Elmgrove facility where the disc cameras were made. Early in my stint, I got a plant tour of the building where those cameras were made. The factory was going full bore to keep up with demand. I was in awe of the factory and the level of automation and the sheer size of the machines!
There were 18,000 people at that one Kodak facility. Start and end time were staggered in five minute increments to manage car flow. To think at the time that just five years later it would all come to a rather quick end was unthinkable.
