Most people believe that Henry Ford invented the assembly line, but the first moving assembly line was actually created in Venice in the 1500s!
In reality, there were centuries of manufacturing innovations that needed to be accomplished prior to R.E. Olds’ assembly line and Henry’s “continuously moving synchronized” assembly systems.
Join automotive historian, Don LaCombe, as he explores the history of the assembly line in American manufacturing.
The R.E. Olds Transportation Museum lecture series is a joint effort of the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum, MotorCities National Heritage Area, and Our Daily Work, Our Daily Lives.
