Oct. 7, 1913....Henry Ford introduces the 'assembly line'
Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 - April 7, 1947) was the founder of the Ford Motor Company and one of the first to apply assembly line manufacturing to the mass production of affordable automobiles. This achievement not only revolutionized industrial production, it had such tremendous influence over modern culture that many social theorists identify this phase of economic and social history as "Fordism."
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Personal sidenote: Just last night I watched a great show on my local Public Broadcasting Station about the first man to ever cross the Continental United States from San Francisco to New York. The year...1903!!!!! An incredible show to see! It was called Horatio's Drive...America's First Road Trip!
SURPRISINGLY, the movie is NOT about Henry Ford!!!
