As an project engineer I thought it was interesting to see how speakers were made in mass production. The photo is from an ad brochure for the company making the conveyor. It looks like the drive units are carried around on the pallets, which have a rotating disc with gear teeth on the outside, which are presumably to rotate the drive unit when a rotary type operation is required, such as glueing.
Some interesting things mentioned in the article are that production is up to 5000 per week and B&W now uses a new two part acrylic glue technology.

Sorry about the quality of the scan. Another quality Canon product at work.
