Also - you can see that the work takes place at waist height.
The idea is that, ergonomically, you would grab the tire from the delivery system (probably at waist height) and then carry it over and install it on the car without having to bend over. Most of the guys wouldn't do that. They would let the tire drop off the delivery conveyor, bounce it once like a basketball and let it hop right up into place. There was an interesting guy in the St Louis truck plant, with a handlebar moustache. When he notice a crowd of visiting dignitaries he'd start showing off, letting the tire bounce while doing a flip, or bouncing them behind his back before popping them on. It only reinforced my opinion: if you see a guy with a handlebar moustache you better keep an eye on him. K
