Just for fun and trivial reasons. I think it will make a good off topic discussion. Who invented the first assembly line for mass production.

Ha !!! Thanks for not cheating Mud. That is why this would make a great a discussion. NO it was NOT Henry Ford.

mudseeker · 10-21-2009, 09:01 PM

ok. lets be more specific. was it auto related?

hotrodpc · 10-21-2009, 09:03 PM

There is actually 2 acceptable answers to the questions. 1 is auto related, and 1 is not. The one that is not would be considered manufacturing history, but that could have been anywhere in the world. But a hint, it was in the great US of A. Ford did IMPROVE Auto manufactuing assembly line by adding a conveyor belt.

One of those inventors that did the light bulb newton no, It on the tip of my tongue maybe not the light bulb but one of the inventors of that time. Henry ford is a thief stole the idea made it work that is what he is famous for not for making the first car but so many ignorant people think he was the first American that made the first car. At least he circled his mistake

You are semi on the right track for the 1st correct answer not being auto related. But no it was not the inventor of the light bulb, but it was an inventor. He invented something, then used an assembly line to mass produce it. Ford did kinda steal the idea, but for perfected the idea by adding a moving conveyor belt. By doing so, Ford more than Quadrupled his auto production.
