Who was Henry Ford?

Answer 1

Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor Company. He invented the Quadricycle, the first "horseless carriage" that he produced. Its popularity helped fund and launch Ford's business, and the new Ford Motor Company was founded 7 years later, on 16 June 1903.

Ford used the assembly line concept to build his cars relatively cheaply, and revolutionized transportation by making automobiles affordable to the common man, and not just to the rich, as had been the case previously. His mass production methods included the use of completely interchangeable parts. His massive River Rouge plant began with raw materials (e.g. iron) and produced finished cars. He was also credited with being among the first to use the so called conveyor belt method in the automotive industry where each worker specialized in working on a single part as it passed by his station on the conveyor belt. This made the work go a lot faster but it also became repetitive. Ford was a pioneer in applied time and motion studies and applied this widely in his car plants.

Ford's other innovation was to pay the then unheard of high wage of $5 a day. He believed that the producers of his automobiles should be able to afford to buy them.
Never heard of Hendry Ford. If you are asking about Henry Ford, Henry Ford was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. Ford did not invent the automobile, but he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford to buy. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was born in Greenfield Township, Michigan 1863.
