We observe first that no line, l, can meet its image except at one of its intersections with Q.

To do this we must first show that every line which meets **zg in a point P meets its image at P.

The first possibility requires that there be a line through P which meets **zg in Af points ; ;

Ford was the first company to build large factories around the assembly line concept.

Assuming no loss of time when moving a car from one station to another, the longest stage on the assembly line determines the throughput ( 20 minutes for the engine installation ) so a car can be produced every 20 minutes, once the first car taking 35 minutes has been produced.
