The parts will then go to the assembly line to be put in the cars made at the factory. How would life for these workers be different from the wheelwrights of Colonial Days? How would the cars they produce be different than the carts and buggies made by the wheelwrights?

  16. Assembly Line Production of the Model T Henry Ford revolutionized the manufacturing of cars with the introduction of the moving assembly line. The Ford factory could produce more cars at a lower cost than other car makers of the time. .
