In dealing with workmen under this type of management, it is an inflexible rule to talk to and deal with only one man at a time, since each workman has his own special abilities and limitations, and since we are not dealing with men in masses, but are trying to develop each individual man to his highest state of efficiency and prosperity.

[45] Chain drive was dominant over the drive shaft, and closed bodies were extremely rare. [43] Innovation was rapid and rampant, with no clear standards for basic vehicle architectures, body styles, construction materials, or controls; for example, many veteran cars use a tiller, rather than a wheel for steering. Taylor adopts an authoritative, intimidating tone that clearly puts him in charge. people were riding in cars instead of walking or riding a horse.
