In 1698 one of the most revolutionary machines was built by Thomas Savery, the steam engine. This machine was modified and altered as the years went by. In 1712 for example Thomas Newcomen improved this machine. However this machine was at its best when it was innovated by James Watt. He made the steam engine more efficient while using less fuel. Coal and Iron were a big part in the creation of the steam engine. Coal was used to power the steam engine and iron was used to improve its structure.
Contrary to popular belief, Henry Ford is not the inventor of the automobile or the assembly line. He is, however, credited with combining multiple inventions to create a fast, efficient way to create automobiles using ideas and inventions like interchangeable …show more content…
Only the rich brought them.
Meanwhile, somewhere in England, James Watt innovates the steam engine, originally created by Thomas Savery in 1698, and makes it the most efficient yet.
Henry Ford turned his attention to the steam engine and started to incorporate his ideas with the quadricycle. His main funders were the future founders of the Detroit Automobile Company, and unknown to him, it would soon be called the Henry Ford Company.
Soon, the funders of the company were annoyed by Henry Ford’s “constant need to improve” and Ford left the company in 1902. It was renamed as the Cadillac Motor Company.
A year after he left the company, he established the Ford Motor Company.
Still determined, Henry Ford gathered workers and released the Model T in 1908. It was an instant hit. Demand was so high and workers couldn’t keep up! It took 12 hours to assemble the cars and interchangeable parts were sometimes off new parts were required.
In 1913, after spending nearly five years working on the idea, work became efficient. This is because Ford had started using a moving assembly line to create the cars. Interchangeable parts become more reliable and the time to make a car dropped from 12 hours to 2 and a …show more content…
An example of this is his moving assembly line. The moving assembly line is a primary part of producing new machinery that helps us in our day to day lives. For example, everything from your clothes to your laptop's is made in an assembly line. Efficiency increases uses assembly lines and nowadays with robotics involved, the assembly line has revolutionized the making of products as we know it. Ford’s creation of the Model T also started the production of many automobiles that we use now to help us in our day to day
