to have mechanized assembly lines. that led to homogeneous parts which then were somewhat interchangeable. they were never fully interchangeable in many industries, but that partial interchangeability lowered the ratio of human labor to machine labor. and fourth and finally, there's a goal of the full machine assembly of the final part. think about the fact that even today what we think was relatively simple production say potato chips still needs a human as you'll see if you look at documentaries online a lot of potato chip factories still have people who stand there when the potato chips come out before they enter in the bags and their job is to look at ones that are burnt or undersized or particular broken and like throw them offline. that's something they could automate in theory, but they have found it's cheaper to hire somebody. to do that process at the end of what is essentially a fully mechanized automatic process. so and ultimately notice that even that choice of having a person there in the final period befo

and fourth, final assembly. so, rosenberg's claim is that machine production and all the accompanying support production products of machine production, in particular measures proper gauges, proper measures, proper tools in some sense for measuring and producing copies of other tools. it is part of what allowed for diffusion in the united states of these growing manufactured techniques. we are also going to talk about the difference between government demand for product and privately brought. private demand could either be more or less demanding of quality than the government demand. the government has specific political purposes they have, winning a war, needing something for policing, needing something for the building of certain types of structures. these are very specific they are last driven by forces. more by political forces. the private market is going to balance out what the consumers tastes are with what they can afford, this makes a big difference whether you are selling to a mass market or whether yo

let's go back to northern ireland and the assembly election. sinn fein look likely to become the biggest party, putting it's vice president michelle o'neill in line to be the next first minister. let's cross live to belfast and get all the latest from annita mcveigh. thank you very much. you join me in a noisy belfast. one of three count centres across northern ireland. 3a seats left to be declared out of the 90 that will represent northern ireland in the power—sharing assembly, if and when that returns. certainly the hope of pretty much everybody is that it can return. interesting to pick up on what the professor was saying about what the government could do to talk to unionism, those unionist who are opposed to the protocols and try to persuade them to re—enter the power—sharing assembly. i spoke to gillian smith area and he was talking about looking towards the eu, looking if there is any compromise from there on the protocol. jeffrey donaldson has been speaking to the bbc. he said that the dop will decide next week whether to consider

i am joined by a former democratic unionist party mp and member of the assembly. thank you forjoining us. i want to put a couple of the points that my last guest was just making, saying the challenge for the dup, let that mcwhorter was, can they now do power—sharing when they are not the top dog? i guess that is a fair question. top dog? i guess that is a fair question-— top dog? i guess that is a fair cuestion. , , , ., ~ question. yes, but first of i think it's worth saying, _ question. yes, but first of i think it's worth saying, some - question. yes, but first of i think it's worth saying, some of - question. yes, but first of i think it's worth saying, some of the i it's worth saying, some of the dialogue and narrative around this has been absolutely bizarre. let's put this into perspective, sinn fein came into this election with 27 seats. they will be going out of the election with 27 seats. the dup came in the 27 seats and it looks as if they will drop to 225, so we are talking about a change of two seats. at the last election the dup had won 28 and tha

that means they are the largest party in the northern ireland assembly for the northern ireland assembly for the first time. their leader in northern ireland, michelle o neill, is entitled to be nominated to the position of first minister in the power—sharing assembly. but because of the of the way the power—sharing structures are set up here in ireland to take account of both nationalist and unionist traditions, the democratic unionist party, the second largest party here at the end of these elections, has to nominate to the position of deputy first minister. 0ne post can't exist without the other. that's the whole point of power—sharing. it is unclear as to whether the democratic unionist party will actually take that step, largely because of their opposition to the northern ireland protocol which governs the post—brexit trading arrangements here. they set it undermines northern ireland the's constitutional position within the united kingdom. it is a hugely historic and significant they. sinn fein have emerged as at the largest party here for the first time. i should also menti

members, the assembly has been unable to elect a speaker today. this was the point the political mood took another downturn. the dup blocked the election of a speaker to chair debates. that means the assembly is out of action. sinn fein said the dup was holding the public to ransom. this is our hour of decision. not tomorrow and not for a moment longer can the dup deny democracy, punish the public and boycott this assembly and executive, and prevent us from putting money into people's pockets. politicians were elected to the stormont assembly to speak on behalf of voters, to represent people, to make laws, but now they've no idea when or even if they'll be able to take their seats in the chamber again. the biggest issue in the deadlock is the trade border with england, scotland and wales, known as the northern ireland protocol. some goods, such as food products, are inspected when they arrive from great britain. the arrangement is part of the brexit agreement signed by borisjohnson�*s government and the eu. it was designed to keep open the land
