When Ford Motor Company introduced the new Model T on October 1, 1908, even Henry Ford could not predict changes that his kind of ordinary looking new car would produce. What resulted from this series of bold innovations was more than an endless stream of Model Ts — it was the very building block of the twentieth century itself. The assembly line became the century's characteristic production mode, eventually applied to everything from phonographs to hamburgers.
