Henry Ford

• Before Mass production, pioneered by Henry Ford, it took 12 hours to build a Model T in a workshop.

  The Assembly line changed this.
• On October 31 1925, at the peak of mass production, a Ford Model T car was being produced every 10 seconds.

  When this came into place, Model T car prices dropped from $950 to $290.

  This meant cars were far more affordable and there was a higher demand for them, which led to BOOM as demand for other products - steel, glass, textiles - also increased.
• Every car was produced in black to make mass production easier.

  Lots of people buying the same car: affordable.

  Large increase in car ownership.
