• Before this technology objects were produced by skilled craftsmen.
• Interchangeable parts were simple and inexpensive because the damaged piece could be easily replaced
• Interchangeable parts also allowed production to have a lower cost.

Untitled Slide

• Factory owners can hire unskilled workers for low wages.
• Interchangable allowed parts for the assembly-line and automated manufacturing.
• Which was more better than older methods.

How would it be today without it?

• The world without interchangeable parts would be insane.
• For example
• The Cotton Gin that was an important thing during the Industrial Revolution.
