Paul,
Why would they need any, you ask. Well, for several reasons that come to
mind.
Promotion- Showing how a car is built and photographing the process is a
time honored way of introducing buyer to product, especially if you're
proud of the product.
Training- Yes, this works. Show new employees how the whole thing works
before they get on-the-line would be a tremendous aid.
Manufacturing- Taking photos too show where improvements might be made
in the process, evolution, not revolution.
Just my thoughts, but if they haven't got 'em, it's too late now.
Cheers,
