Unit 10Mass

Production

Long ago goods were manufacture by craftsmen, who were skilled workmen. A craftsman was proud of each article he made. He spent a long time in making it and took great care over its manufacture, and people paid a high price for it when it was finished.All the luxurious Persian carpets, the beautiful Chinese pottery and the hand mad lace of certain European countries were made in this way.

But these articles were bought only by the rich. Poor people had to be satisfied with goods that were roughly and cheaply made.When the population of Europe increased, there was a demand for goods of better quality. These goods had to be produced in factories and workshops where hundreds of workers were employed.The invention of the steam engine helped manufactures by giving them cheaper power to

work their machines. Machines took the place of men. Productions was increased. People were able to buy articles of good quality at low price. The age of mass production had arrived. A Mass is a large number of quantity.Mass production means ; manufacture of a large number of identical articles by the use of machinery.Cars , Radios and Cameras are examples of many types of articles that mass produced today.
