Answer:

ARGH. You have a UPS with a damaged primary (i.e. direct from the power line) circuit. Removing just one obviously-damaged component is not sufficient to guarantee that it's safe to operate. Your UPS could catch fire, start your house on fire, and thereby kill you while you sleep. You should immediately unplug your UPS and have it serviced by a qualified technician. Or, replace it.
MASS PRODUCTION through mechanization of the assembly line. Henry Ford produced over 15 million Model Ts from 1908 to 1927. This was the first time in the history of the world that a complex product had been produced in such great numbers in such a short period. This would not have been possible without the assembly line, which Ford did NOT invent (Ransom Olds invented it). Henry Ford perfected it, though. In 1913, he implemented the MOVING assembly line and continued to optimize and mechanize it through the years.
