On the assembly line in Henry Ford’s shop, these men are working on some of the first efficiently produced automobiles. Using his desire to make cars that nearly everyone could buy, Ford found a way to make his Model T in much less time. His creation, the assembly line, is still used today. In factories across the world, machines and belts like this one move products down a line to be assembled. It’s effectiveness was proven easily when the time it took to create an automobile was decreased from just over 12 hours to nearly 2 hours.
