Automobiles - History
While Henry Ford didn't actually invent the assembly line, he used it on a scale never before seen. It was the workers' idea for each person to do only one job on the line. With one job, new unskilled workers could easily learn their job. Henry Ford was also ahead of his time in providing a livable wage. As a result, his workers didn't go looking for another job. Standardized, interchangeable parts were an innovative idea. Discover how the Model T changed American culture.
