1. Automobiles have been around since 1885.
2. A patent is a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period.
3. When Carl Benz obtains a patent in January of 1886 for his invention, he used the title Vehicle with Gas Engine to describe the automobile.
4. Carl's wife, Bertha drove his invention in August of 1888. From this drive, the automobile is born.
5. The so called "axial pivot steering system" helped solve the steering issues they were having.
6. The new name when the two automobile companies are merged is Mercedes Benz.
7. Benz experienced his dream come true as a pioneer in technology that many pioneers never experienced.
Henry Ford and the Model T
1. The assembly line changed from suggestions made to Henry Ford by three of his employees by making the line move to the workers and not them move to the line.
2. Worker tended to stay longer and be more committed to Ford's company than other companies at the time because he gave them a bigger wage that they were able to live off of.
3. The first Model T cost a little over $1000 and they were made for the common people.
4. The Model T price dropped dramatically to the price of $600 and then $300. I think it dropped so much because a lot of people were poor and probably couldn't afford it.
5. As the Model T became the main model of transportation, it offered people the ability to travel for pleasure and visit family without having to use the railroads. Also transformed the way we settled the country.
