VW Eos

[open.seas at verizon.net (Chris)]

Did you notice how few people were in the plant? (It could get lonely on 
the night shift.) Some photos, just robots, others around 1-3 people as 
far as the eye can see. 15 people in one photo near the end. Another 30 
people appear in the other photos over six pages. Quite a contrast to 
the old days when people were on both sides of the assembly line and 
there was another "station" every 25 feet or so to add the next item.
