History - The First Assembly Line

As an American, David had some prior knowledge of the Model T and Henry Ford’s concept of an assembly line, and in truth, his experiences in the US Air Force helped cement Ford’s concept of continuous motion in David’s mind.

From 1964 through to 1967, David served in the U.S. Air Force Security Service branch of the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in the city of Brindisi, Italy.  After being honourably discharged in 1967, at the age of twenty-two, David traveled to Israel and decided to volunteer his services to the United Nations in Jerusalem.  The UN referred him to working with the Lutheran World Federation, Department of World Service, an agency that worked in conjunction with the UNRWA, the United Nations Relief & Works Agency.

During his sojourn in Jerusalem, David was required to help sort clothing donations into theoretical families of five for Six Day War refugees at the Augusta Victoria Hospital, located on the Mount of Olives.  David instinctively wanted to make the sorting process more efficient, picturing a continuous-motion assembly line created with people.

David sketched out a detailed drawing, plotting all the components of the assembly line from where the bales of clothing were to be stored to volunteers who were to move in a continuous circle gathering each item of clothing from shelves divided into sections.  The volunteers would then place them in burlap bags, and drop these loads into coats laying on the floor to be bundled and tied, and then thrown over head into a row reserved for wheel barrows that carted them into another room to wait for the UN trucks.  David’s original thinking allowed him and his crew to bundle a large amount of clothing in a short amount of time.  This task kept David and his volunteers busy from October right through to December 1967.  As a result of David’s efforts, he was commemorated with a special letter thanking him for his contribution in helping to cloth tens of thousands of refugees.
