About Henry Ford and the Moving Assembly Line
On July 30, 1863, Henry Ford was born on a farm in Dearborn, Michigan, and the world he would leave behind looked nothing like the one he entered. His moving assembly line, introduced at the Highland Park plant in 1913, slashed the time to build a Model T from over twelve hours to under two, making the automobile a practical reality for ordinary families rather than a luxury for the wealthy few. The rhythmic pull of the belt, the clang of steel on steel, and the steady march of frames down the line became the heartbeat of modern industry.
