The New Frontier of Automobiles

     When you think about Ford, an automobile will usually come to mind. Most people don’t think about the man behind that name, Henry Ford. Henry Ford was the man responsible for the Ford Motor Company (FMC). He was also the creator of the invention that changed the mass production industry, the assembly line. As you read on you will learn about Henry Ford’s life, the FMC, and the assembly line.

In the 1913’s Henry Ford invented the assembly line that was the turning point in the United States and the automobile industry. The purpose of the assembly line was to make production faster and cheaper. The assembly line was so successful that it had a tremendous effect on automobile industry because it helped save time and money. For instance before

“With one workman doing a complete job he could turn out from thirty-five to forty pieces in a nine-hour day, or about twenty minutes to an assembly. What he did alone was then spread into twenty-nine operations; that cut down the assembly time to thirteen minutes” (Ford, 45). Ford had nearly cut the production time of one Ford Model T in half, allowing for more automobiles to be produced in a day. The Ford Motor Company was able to produce 150 Ford Model Ts every day and eventually reached nearly 10,000 Model Ts a day by 1925 (Sandler, 21). Each worker would contribute his skill at assembling a single part of the Model T, and once he completed his task he would pass the Model T on to the next worker in line along the assembly line, similar to the meat production factory in which Ford envisioned his idea. His idea soon caught on and became an idealistic way to mass produce products in America which soon caught on to other industries and continued to inspire the ways Americans would produce goods even to this day.

Have you ever thought about what life would be like without the invention of the production line? One person was able to change history by mass producing cars. Henry Ford's childhood were spent farming fixing clocks. As an adult went on to be a successful businessman and accomplish great strides with his invention of the assembly line.

Car changed human’s living style no matter what it used to be:the travel mode or work place. However the automobile industrial is profit from the Henry Ford’s invent. This technology born in the second industrial revolution, and also be the sign for this great leap. Automobile used to be the very expensive good for the rich, the reason is every vehicles are made by worker’s hand, the low production efficiency and high cost made car can’t be popularity in the society. The true inventor of assembly line is unverified, but Ford is the first acknowledged person who practical applicate the assembly line in the industrial producing in 20th century. Inventors invent things and make money form patent right,they are wealthy;innovators never invent

Throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, there have many been many people who have shaped and changed the American and world landscape to what it is today. Many people have brought ideas into the light, and many people have changed major parts of everyday life. These innovators are a reason we have so many good things in this world, and one of those innovators is named Henry Ford. Henry Ford is one of the foremost developers of the American society. Henry brought the idea and concept of an assembly line to the light. He also brought the machine of an automobile to the world. He did not necessarily invent those things, but as an innovator he made sure these things would be apart of the daily life. It is easy today to

In 1769, the first automobile, a steam-powered carriage that would carry up to four people at two miles per hour, was created. Years pass as gasoline engines, wheels, and a steering device were added to the automobile, which began to make it useful but expensive (“The Invention of Automobiles”). They were hand-crafted at this time, therefore making it unaffordable. Until Henry Ford introduced the assembly line in 1913, automobiles remained expensive. His discovery of the assembly line turned the hand-crafted machines to mass-produced automobiles. Since automobiles were being mass-produced, the cost for assembling a single car dropped low enough for it to be affordable to many families (“The Invention of Automobiles”).

We all take things for granite these days. Some may be drinking from the water fountain or laying in bed at night. Even though we work hard to pay for a car we don't think about the time when there were no cars. Henry Ford changed that for his generation and even us today. He launched the era of mass produced automobiles and in 1899 he founded the Detroit automobile company.

One of which was the assembly line, which today has heightened mass production and remodeled factories and industries all around the world (Curcio). Without mass production today, factories would be extremely slow and it would take over 24 hours to put together a modern day automobile, considering all of the newly added gadgets. Although, from these achievements, many believe that Henry Ford brought positive change to the “American standard of living,” through the development of the Model T, the assembly line and many other industries, his positive impact is overshadowed by his anti semitic views and his mistreatment of his workers. Henry Ford is widely considered as a hero towards the auto industry. He invented an automobile that for years to come would provide transportation to many americans.

Henry Ford's assembly line and his automobile, the Model T, revolutionized manufacturing and the development of today's automobiles and engines. The assembly line and Model T caused American industry to expand and also ushered a new American lifestyle.

Henry Ford created a way to manufacture cars that would change America’s manufacturing process for the better, a method that to this day is still being used to this day.

The Henry Ford Assembly line, it was invented in the year 1913. Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile, the model T. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than a half a day to make a single car, to about 2 hours. He believed that there was certain principle in order to better his production, which was interchangeable parts, continuous flow, the division of labor, and reducing wasted effort.Using interchangeable parts meant making the individual pieces of the car the exact same as the next car, which helped make things faster due to the less confusion of which piece is which.Therefore, it was able to open the job market, by allowing low-skilled workers to work besides special-skilled workers which lead to improving the flow of the work. Due to the fact, the next step couldn't be complete without the previous step. So Ford divided the labor by breaking the assembly of the car into separate parts and there was a worker there to do his/her

Who created ford? Henry Ford born July 30, 1863, and died on April 7, 1947 was an American entrepreneur who created the Ford Model T car. It was established in 1908. The Model T car, was the first car to be affordable to most Americans. The Model T car was known for its long lasting product and its versatility. The Model T car was a huge success mainly because it was easy to drive and it was very cheap to repair. Half of the cars in America in 1918 were Model T’s.

Henry Ford organized worked as an apprentice on pursuing on building his first car called the Quadricycle. “Some said it bore a resemblance to a baby carriage with two cylinder engine (Carson & Bonk)”. He built this simple car for the purpose of those American worker could afford only a simple car not a luxury car.

Henry Ford remains variously acclaimed for obligating conceived the interior of the combustion engine, created the automobile, and developed the assemblage line. He didn’t prepare any of these three; however, he did make conceivable the Model T — the car that “placed America in control” — which scripts its anniversary this fall.
