The Model T Ford
● In the 1890s, Americans were making
automobiles but they were handmade and
very expensive.
● Henry Ford found a faster and cheaper way
to make automobiles in 1913.
● He used an assembly line
● The assembly line cut the price of Ford’s car
called the Model T from $850 in 1908 to
$300 in 1925.
The Assembly Line
The assembly line is a moving belt that carried the automobiles past the
workers. At each work area, a worker fitted one part to the car as it moved
past.
