How Products Are Made. An Illustrated Guide to Product Manufacturing

Kyung-Sun Lim9780810389526, 0810389525

Each volume of How Products Are Made covers a broad range of manufacturing areas: food, clothing, electronics, transportation, machinery, instruments, sporting goods, and more. Some are intermediate goods sold to manufacturers of other products, while others are retail goods sold directly to consumers. You will find items made from a variety of materials, including products such as precious metals and minerals that are not «made» so much as they are extracted and refined.
