Henry Ford Bill Gates
The Henry Ford Estate still stands on the Campus of the university of Michigan
The walls of the Field Room were constructed of rough cypress logs, and Ford salvaged the mantel and fireplace stones from a Michigan tavern
Ford actually raised the roof for the ceiling of the library, which was cut from a house in England, then shipped to Detroit where it was reassembled. He also designed a Field Room in the basement, where he could cook over an open fire and entertain fellow inventors
Ford filled the home's interior with handcrafted touches created by skilled artisans. Oak figures prominently in both the Elizabethan-style front staircase and the library, which was paneled with hazel oak
Ford (far right) entertained fellow inventors and businessmen such as Thomas Edison (left) and Harvey Firestone (centre).
The Ford Family Setting In front of their estate
Born July 30, 1863 - Died April 7, 1947
Using a 'push' moving assembly line and interchangeable parts, Henry Ford was able to mass produce his Model T's and sell them for just $850. In 1913 Henry Ford replaced his 'push' moving assembly line with a conveyor belt assembly line. This way was eight times faster because now the model T mechanically moved through each station instead of by hand. By 1925 the Ford Company was able to complete a new car every ten seconds.
The Model T Ford had several nicknames: some people called it the Tin Lizzy, and others called it the Flivver.
Life was easier and more fun with a Model T. Town people could visit the countryside and country people could see the towns.
Families were able to go on Camping Trips , picnics, and visits to friends that lived far away.
