- Scope and Content
- Black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published June 5, 1968 (p. 32-F)with caption: "Mr. St. Thomas Ford Plant- Although this cute little fellow held by charming secretary Mrs. Judy Albert has not been given a name, he is a symbol of the high standard of craftsmanship of workers at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant. His head is a piston, representing the precise engineering required in building automobiles. His arms are micrometer callipers, an instrument used in making very accurate measurements. His feet are Johannsen gauge blocks, another instrument of accuracy. The mannequin's body is the maple leaf emblem of the St. Thomas plant, emblazoned with the letters ZD to denote the Zero Defects concept of 'Do It Right The First Time, Right From The Start' that is so much a part of the philosophy of the plant's 1,450-strong work force."
