| Publisher Description: Though the automated assembly line seems the most logical and natural of ideas, its development took place over a long period of time. It would take Henry Ford and his dream of building an affordable Model T automobile to put all the pieces together. In doing so, Ford changed the world forever. The invention impacted prices, wages and demand; labor unions; and even popular culture. In The Invention of the Moving Assembly Line, learn how one simple invention helped to transform America and how its impact is still being felt today. |
