The first automobile race in history took place in Chicago in
1895. Henry Ford, who lived in Michigan, had a car and wanted
to compete, but he did not have the money to get to Chicago.
Ford did not win that race, but later he achieved some far
5 more important victories. He was an excellent automobile
engineer, but what really made him different from other auto
makers were his ideas about the manufacturing process and the
rewards employees should receive for their labor.
Ford’s most famous idea was to standardize the manufacturing
10 process so that large numbers of identical cars could be
produced cheaply and quickly. Ford was certainly not the first
person to standardize manufacturing processes, but what he did
introduce was the assembly line.
