When Henry Ford was just thirteen years old, his father gave him a pocket watch. In front of everyone in the neighborhood, Henry took apart the watch and reassembled it impressively. Henry did not like working in a farm, so, he became an apprentice of machinery at the age of 16. It was a shipbuilding firm in Detroit. He got married in 1888. ]]> 2018-01-29 15:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225684457 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225699984 In 1890, Henry was hired in the Detroit Edison Company. Three years later, Ford was promoted to be the chief engineer of the company. Ford developed plans to build the first ever horseless carriage. So, he did. It had a two-cylinder, four horse power engine. His first model car was the Ford Quadricycle. After meeting with Thomas Edison, he was motivated by Edison to try it again, but, build a better car. In 1903, Henry started the Ford Motor Company. That was after he left the company of Edison in 1898]]> 2018-01-29 16:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225699984 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225712741 Ford introduced the Model T, the first car to be affordable for most Americans, in October 1908 and continued its construction until 1927. This car was known for its durability, quickly making it a huge commercial success. For several years, Ford Motor Company posted 100 percent gains. Simple to drive and cheap to repair following Ford’s invention of the assembly line, nearly half of all cars in America in 1918 were Model T's. ]]> 2018-01-29 16:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225712741 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225718417 Not only did Henry Ford establish the first car company and make the first American cars. He took a huge role in the industrial era. He made a huge contribution to factories. More specifically, Henry Ford opened eyes up to assembly lines. Workers would get paid to make a simple task in an amount of time, when that time is over, the conveyor belt continues to the other worker, and so on. Assembly lines were also key to mass production. Which made things go faster and at a larger scale. As I said before, nearly half of all cars in America in 1918 were Model T's. This shows that mass production has had an impact on America greatly.]]> 2018-01-29 16:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225718417 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225737703 https://www.biography.com/people/henry-ford-9298747]]> 2018-01-29 17:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225737703 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225740049 2018-01-29 17:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225740049 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225740612 What may a man like Henry Ford, industrialist, have to do with the politics and wars. However, Henry Ford was anti-Semite, he published a number of anti-Semite (as a sum up, basically against the Jews) writings, including 1921 pamphlet, "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem.” Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the most important award Nazis gave to foreigners, by Adolf Hitler in 1938. In 1998, a lawsuit filed in Newark, New Jersey, accused the Ford Motor Company of profiting from the forced labor of thousands of people at one of its truck factories in Cologne, Germany during World War II. The Ford company, in turn, said the factory was under the control of the Nazis, not the American corporate headquarters. In 2001, Ford Motor Company released a study which found that the company did not profit from the German subsidiary, at the same time promising to donate $4 million to human rights studies focused on slave and forced labor.]]> 2018-01-29 17:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225740612 seif22 https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225760435 Click on the video, and it should take you to Google Drive. ]]> 2018-01-29 17:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/seif22/fx00n0m5g9lf/wish/225760435
