Assault on Senator Sumner in the domed nucleus of the SenateThe evolution of government requires back and forth discussion and testing of ideas.  This picture depicts the disorderly physical attack of Senator Sumner in the hallowed nucleus of the domed senate in 1856 by South Carolina representative Preston Brooks who disagreed with Sumners strong stand against the protagonists of slavery.  He understood that the needed path for liberty was to eradicate slavery and his strong oratory in the nucleus of government stimulated the physical response by Preston Brooks.  The evolution of ideas into practice for an improved wellbeing in the nation takes place in the governmental institutions.  The genetic pool has similar struggles of evolution and survival but the changes takes place over thousands of years.  nevertheless the it is the control centre – the government in the city and the nation and the nucleus in the cell.

The factory

A factory is a place that processes materials and converts or assembles them into a product that is useful to our society.   Factories manufacture and process items for example that are essential to our survival, including food, drink, clothing material, and building materials.   The glands of our body process, convert and manufacture products that are essential to our survival as well.  The output of products in sufficient quantities and of high quanlity lies in the technique and efficiency of the workers and machinery.

One of the first assembly lines was founded in the early 12th century in Venice Italy where ships were mass produced. The concept of collaborative effort for production  probably came even earlier in ancient China during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (771-221BC) characterised by mills and manufactories.  In the Song dynasty between 806 and 1078 AD cast iron facories were functioning as collabrative manufactories as well. (history of the factory)

In the early 1700’s the collaborotive effort was called the domestic system in Great Britain and consisted of  only 3-4 people working in a private home to poduce textiles for example. In the instance of wool clothing production, the wool would be sheared, combed to isolate the individual fibers, cleaned, spun to produce yarn, and then woven on  a handloom to create the textile.

In Great BRitain embryonic factories were introduced for the silk industry by John Lombe (1721), Mathew Boulton for the toy and “fancy goods” industry (about 1761). In 1769 Richard Arkwright patented his spinning frame in Great Britain and forever changed the manner in which people produced textiles.  He created a workforce that quickly grew to 800 people by 1789.

In the 1800’s in Great Britain the coming of the industrial revolution mechanised the factories introducing newer tools enabling the production of greater quantities of products with greater sophistication.

The factory production line, or assembly line was revolutionised by Henry Ford, where the evolving product was sequentially assembled, with each worker becoming proficient at a single task in the production.  The idea was inspired by the observation at a Chicago slaughterhouse by “Pa” William Klann.  Klann noted that a single individual performed a single task in disassembling of the carcass which moved along a conveyor belt.

The concept of retaining the workers in a specific position of the assembly line where they could not roam about and the production of the whole depended on the function of the individual was the key to efficient productivity.  The Ford company at one time thought about patenting te idea little did they know that if they would have looked at the factories of biology in the form of the glands

The liver

The liver is known as a the “metabolic warehouse” of the body.  One of its functions is to take in the products of digestion – breakdown products of proteins fats and carbohydrates and build structures and chemicals that can be used by the body.
