The day Henry Ford changed the motoring world

It simplified assembly of the Model T’s 3,000 parts as it created 84 distinct stages carried out by groups of workers.

A rope pulled the vehicle chassis down the line. The new process cut the assembly time for a car from 12 hours to around 90 minutes.

That reduced the cost so much that the company was able to drop the price of the Model T from $850 to under $300.

Eventually, Ford built a Model T every 24 seconds and sold more than 15 million of them worldwide by 1927.
