My father worked in car factory prior to retiring. Have you or anyone in your family worked in a factory?
None of my family has ever worked in a manufacturing plant. They normally have several buildings, which is dangerous.
The car factory did have several buildings, but thanks to the supervisors and safety team, the factory only had two minor accidents while my dad worked there.
Factories came about with the introduction of machinery during the one and only industrial revolution.
True in order to enter into the world of mass production by making the process more efficient.
Yes early factories were pretty much only glorified workshops!
That would not have done for producing automobiles like my dad's company did.
All of the more modern factories have very large warehouses and contain alot of heavy equipment.
