Pretty much how we do it today, except the points are picked electronically and the data goes directly to disk (rather than via a paper tape, then converted to magnetic tape). The data can be used to make parts or tools directly. We very rarely make a technical drawing unless it is in support of the design of a fixture, or if a supplier needs/requests it.
I liked the little blurb on front and rear airbags; GM gave my dad a '74 Impala with experimental airbags to drive for a short period of time. I remember him commenting that he wasn't sure if he should be flattered (because they trusted him driving a company car) or offended that they thought he was more likely to crash it! (lol)
