FROM THE HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE
The first cars appeared in Europe. France and England had automobiles before America. And they were rather expensive, so only few people could afford them. The first automobiles in America were driven by electricity or steam. People laughed when they saw the first cars. The body of the early automobile was nothing but a carriage with one seat. The wheels were like bicycle wheels. “Excuse our dust” was a favourite expression in the early days of the automobile and riders wore special glasses to keep the dust out of their eyes. Horses were frightened of the loud noises the cars made.
The first automobile race occurred in Chicago in 1895. Six cars entered the race. The one that became the winner covered the fifty-four miles in seven and a half hours.
Henry Ford felt that the automobile had come to stay and that everybody would soon want one. So he began thinking of a plan for producing inexpensive cars in large quantities. Ford developed the theory of mass production so that many cars could be sold at low prices.
According to Henry Ford’s idea his cars had to have the simplest kind of mechanism so that their owners could easily repair them. He wanted his cars to be able to move up along unpaved roads and down the hills. Every car had to be painted black because that was regarded as the most durable colour.
By 1927 fifteen million of these cars had been built. By this time Ford was making more money than any other manufacturer in the history of the world.
