History of Assembly line
The first car manufacturers in the world were French Panhard Levassor companies Peugeot 1889 and 1891 Daimler and Benz began as innovators who have experimented with the car design to test their engines before becoming full car manufacturers.
They made their money early in licensing their patents and sale of engines to automakers.
Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor were partners in a company of woodworking machines when they decided to become carmakers They built their first car in 1890 using a motor Daimler's not only manufactured cars partners, they have made improvements to the design automotive body.
Levassor was the first designer to move the motor to the front of the car and use a rear wheel drive layout This design was known as the Panhard system and soon became the standard for all cars because it gave better balance and improved management Levassor are credited with the invention of modern transmission, which has been installed in their 1895 Panhard.
Levassor also shared with Daimler engine license rights with Armand A Peugot Peugot car won the first automobile race held in France, who won the advertising and Peugot boosted car sales.
Ironically, the race Paris to Marseille in 1897 resulted in a fatal car accident, killing Emile Levassor.
From the beginning, the French manufacturers standardize car models that each car was different from the other The first car was the 1894 Benz Velo Standard hundred thirty-four identical Velos were manufactured in 1895.
First commercial vehicle manufacturers fueled America's gas were Charles and Frank Duryea brothers were bicycle manufacturers who were interested in gasoline engines and automobiles They built their first automobile in 1893 in Springfield, Massachusetts and in 1896 the Duryea Motor Wagon Company had sold thirteen models of Duryea, an expensive limousine, which remained in production in the 1920s.
The first car to be mass produced in the United States was the Curved Dash Oldsmobile in 1901, built by the US automaker Ransome Eli Olds 1864-1950 Olds invented the basic concept of the assembly line and began Detroit area automotive industry He first started making steam engines and gasoline with his father, Pliny Fisk Olds in Lansing, Michigan in 1885.
Olds designed his first car in 1887. In 1899, with its steam experience in the manufacture of gasoline engines, Olds moved to Detroit to start the Motor Works olds in order to produce cars at low prices It produced 425 Curved Dash Olds in 1901 and was the first automobile manufacturer in America 1901-1904.
US automaker Henry Ford 1863-1947 was credited with inventing an improved assembly line.
He formed the Ford Motor Company in 1903. It was the third car manufacturing company formed to produce cars that he designed, he introduced the Model T in 1908 and it became a great success.
By 1913, he installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in his car factory in Highland Park Ford, Michigan plant assembly line reduced production costs for cars by reducing assembly time by eg Ford celebrates model T was assembled in eighty-three minutes after the installation of assembly lines moving in his factory Ford became the largest automaker in the world in 1927, 15 million model T was manufactured.
Another victory of Henry Ford was patent battle with George B Selden Selden, who held a patent on a road motor Based on this, Selden fees paid by all US automakers.
