The Ford Model-T
The attraction of the Ford Model-T was
that its price never increased.
Costing $1200 in 1909, the price in 1928
was only$295.

one car per minute.

Mass Production
Ford was able to sell cars at a low cost because they were mass-
produced and every part was Standardized (only one colour and one
engine size were available).
By producing a large number of cars on anAssembly Line Ford
needed fewer skilled workers, and that cut the cost of salary.

Assembly Lines
each man and each machine doonly one thing ... the thing is to
keep everything in motion and
take the work to the man, not the
man to the work
Henry Ford
1925
The way an assembly line works is:
a car frame is put on a conveyer belt
and each person puts one piece
on every car that comes down the line.

Henry Ford
July 30, 1863 April 7, 1947 Henry Ford was definitelya great inventor and made a huge effect on our world. Just
imagine what our world would be like without cars!
Henry Ford also made an effect on our lives by creating the assembly line. His assembly line
helped bring down prices which helped people because cars were cheaper.
His idea was used in other factories and also helped the prices of other items go down."
"Another great thing he did for society was to create jobs for people. It took lots of people to
build a car and they were well paid, which helped their families live better lives."
