- This invention, along with Eli Whitney's cotton gin, set the stage for the development of interchangeable parts and the assembly line, which would revolutionize manufacturing globally.
- The American System, or Armory System, emerged in the 1820s and involved semi-skilled labor to produce standardized and identical interchangeable parts that could be assembled with a minimum of time and skill.
- The use of interchangeable parts separated manufacture from assembly, allowing assembly to be carried out by sequentially adding parts to a product.
- The assembly line, relying on these parts, became a particularly prominent feature of manufacturing in the late 19th and 20 centuries.
-
- For instance, elected bodies, specifically the assemblies and county governments, directly determined the development of a wide range of public and private business.
- Specifically, these assemblies handled land grants, commercial subsidies, and taxation.
- This was especially true in the perennial battles between appointed governors and the elected assembly.
- British-appointed governors also faced various degrees of opposition and resistance over new colonial policies, which resulted in much negotiation between assemblies, voting populations, and colonial authorities.
- This was a possible effect of the state's 1691 charter, which had particularly low requirements for voting eligibility and strong rural representation in its assembly.

-
- This was largely due to the adoption by industry
of the technique of mass production, the system under which identical products
were churned out quickly and inexpensively using assembly lines.
- Using the manufacturing assembly line system, in which individual parts or
sets of pieces are added to a product at stations on a conveyor belt or other
moveable line, entrepreneurs such
as automobile tycoon Henry Ford were able to greatly increase productivity.
- Assembly lines revolutionized manufacturing in the first decades of the 20th Century.
