What a difference 66 years makes

From 1941:

The document in question? The United Auto Workers Union contract with Ford Motor Company. 1941 -- 24 pages, 3.5" by 5" -- a total of 240 Square Inches of document. 2007 -- 2,215 pages, 8.5" by 11" -- a total of 207,102.5 Square Inches of document. Methinks something lost in the translation. Hat tip to Mark Perry at Carpe Diem. Posted by DaveH at January 5, 2009 8:48 PM
