Mass+Production

//**__​​​Mass Production __**- //  Eli Witney used something called Mass Production to make guns more quickly and easily. Mass is another word for "many", and Production is another word for "Products" So mass Production means Making many products at once. Instead of one person making a complete gun, each person is adding their own little part and that way guns are made more quickly. Mass production  would be impossible without machine tools, the machines that make other machines. The beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century witnessed major strides in machine-tool construction  , the 19th century stands out for its development of machine tools and, by about midcentury, the emergence of a distinct machine-tool industry. In the first half of the century, English machine and machine-tool builders became preeminent in the design and construction of machine tools and associated appliances.
