Henry Ford
Henry Ford did not invent the car. Nor was he the one who invented the assembly line. But he was the first to develop a moving assembly line that was so large that it was possible to mass-produce cars and make them an everyday means of transportation for most people.
Early life
Ford came from relatively simple circumstances. He was born on a farm in Michigan in 1863, but as a child he was not particularly interested in farming. Instead, he spent his time taking apart his toys to study how they worked.
In 1879, while still a teenager, Ford left home to begin an apprenticeship as a machinist in Detroit. In 1891, he was employed as an engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company.
