Ford Sparks the Automobile Industry Henry Ford Wanted to make cars affordable for most people. “The way to make automobiles is to make them all alike.” *Ford began to build cars using a process called an ASSEMBLY LINE.

Henry Ford Assembly Line Model T 7 It was night on the Ford Farm in 1863 in a town near Detroit, Michigan and young Henry Ford was born, At an early age while Henry was doing chores he would sometimes whisper to the animals, "Someday somebody the will invent an easier way to do this."  The reason for this you see is Henry hated doing the work and would rather invent something. At the age of ten Henry would go to town and buy clock wheels.  He tried putting these clock wheels together.  Soon he made these clocks work all by himself.  Henry's plan was to make a better watch. One day while Henry was on his way to town he saw a horseless wagon coming down the road.  This gave Henry the idea for the automobile that ran on gasoline.  This was the beginning of a hard life that would pay off in the end. Henry became a machinist at the age of 16.  He was hired as a mechanic for the Edison Company.  The reason he chose this company was because Edison just invented the light bulb and many other things.  While at a party he met Thomas Edison in person.  Henry told Edison his idea for gasoline engines. Mr. Edison told Henry to try it out. When Henry was 18, Henry's father was worried about him because how do you make a living if you have no job so Henry's father gave him a large piece of farmland. Henry left the farm and moved to Detroit to refine the gasoline engine.  One night in Detroit, while his wife was making Christmas dinner, Henry developed a prototype of the gasoline engine.  He ate dinner in the shop that Christmas night as he began his first car.  Henry's first car turned out great.  A few investors came and they formed a company.  This company and the next three companies Henry started were unsuccessful.  He was a very patient man and put numerous amounts of time and effort in to it.  This led Henry to switch from producing racecars to regular cars.  Henry's first car was a regular car that is why he switched.  This is when he came out with the simple Model T.  It was inexpensive and could fit a family.  It only was about $200.00 which even in 1924 was inexpensive.  assembly line was Henry Ford's masterpiece.  Without it, not many of us would have cars in fact none of us would probably have a car.  It all goes to the curious man known as Henry Ford who died of old age.  Although his company was almost bankrupt he made history in the Industrial Revolution.  Assembly Line 7
