As they are carried automatically down an assembly line, machines stamp out holes for tubes and condensers, attach wire jumpers and resistors to the boards, and trim wire leads to size. Time: less than a minute. Whenever a part fails to feed into the line, the whole operation stops automatically, and a red light indicates the point of trouble. Tubes are still installed by hand, but by year's end Admiral expects to be producing entire...
