Notes:

History was made as the flywheel magneto, first manufactured part to

be built on a moving assembly line, passed by workmen at Ford Motor Company's

Highland Park, Mich., plant in the spring of 1913. Time required to assemble

magnetos was reduced from 20 to five minutes; the principle was applied to all

Model T assembly operations and mass production was born.
