"One man draws【C2】______the wire: another strengthens it: a third cuts it: a fourth points it: a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head【C3】______two or three operations. To put it on is a【C4】______operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is,【C5】______this manner,【C6】______into about eighteen operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people,【C7】______in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. "
