Ford introduced methods for large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines; by 1914 these methods were known around the world as Fordism. Henry Ford was an industrialist, founder of Ford Motor Company and sponsor of the development of the assembly line techniques of mass production. Although Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford. In doing so Ford converted the automobile from an expensive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, curiosity into a practical conveyance that would Happy birthday to you, profoundly impact the landscape of the 20th Happy birthday dear Les… Century.

  • ©Desmodromology, H. Cloosterman Assertions
    “Jules Goux won in 1921 with this Ballot 3L racer the first Italian Grand Prix near Brescia.” Source: Autorennen : Die Grossen Preise der Welt ….. von 1894 bis Heute / Adriano Cimarosti; p. 53. The drawing of the Ballot-desmodesign with the text (translated from German into English): Right The Desmodromic valve actuation from the three liter Ballot from 1921, is taken from the same source. Cimarosti doesn’t work in a scientific way and so he does not directly mention the sources for his data and ©Desmodromology, H. Cloosterman assertions. This is also the case of his text by the picture on this page. Since he is the only one with this desmo-statement and since there is no other text nor are there any pictures from the supposed desmo- engine, we must face the possibility that Ballot never produced a desmo-engine. Reason to transfer this Brand from “Systems” to “Supposed desmo, but actually non-desmo” Further comment by Sebastien Faures, a Vintage car specialist from France: Ballot was an engine manufacturer only before WWI, his first cars appearing after WWI. In 1919, Ballot launched its famous twin-cam 8 cyl. 5 liters racing car on the Indy track. For 1920 and 1921, this racing car was scaled down to 3 liters to be in accordance with new Indy and Grand Prix regulations. All these cars were designed by the Swiss engineer Ernest Henry. Ernest Henry was previously the designer of the famous racing Peugeot twin-cam 1912-1914. As it has been demonstrated by Griffith Borgeson, none of the Peugeot’s was Desmo.

  • L500 R Hybrid, La Vision Prospective Du Sport Automobile by PEUGEOT
    COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE 27 mai 2016 L500 R HYbrid, la vision prospective du sport automobile by PEUGEOT Le 30 mai 1916, la PEUGEOT L45 pilotée par Dario RESTA gagnait la course mythique des 500 miles d’Indianapolis à une vitesse moyenne de 135 km/h. 100 ans plus tard, PEUGEOT rend hommage à une équipe étonnante, celle des « Charlatans » qui ont offert à PEUGEOT trois belles victoires aux Etats-Unis entre 1913 et 1919 1 sur le circuit de l’Indy 500, en présentant une interprétation futuriste de la voiture de course « indie » : la PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid . Un racing concept qui maximise les sensations de conduite La PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid est posée au plus près de l’asphalte pour délivrer tout son potentiel dès les premiers mètres. Avec ses voies larges, sa hauteur contenue de 1 mètre et son poids de 1 000 kg, la PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid est taillée pour la performance : elle avale le 0 à 100 km/h en 2,5 secondes et prodigue un 1000 m départ arrêté en 19 secondes. Sa chaine de traction hybride essence plug-in de 500 ch développée par les équipes Peugeot Sport et dérivée de celle de la 308 R HYbrid associe deux moteurs électriques, à l’avant et à l’arrière, au moteur essence 270ch, pour un couple maximum de 730 Nm. La PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid présente des lignes de style qui partent du lion dans la calandre vers le pilote pour terminer - clin d’œil à son ainée - sur un arrière fuselé mettant en scène les trois griffes distinctives des feux arrière qui caractérisent aujourd’hui le style PEUGEOT.

  • Mexico Peugeot Historia De La Competicion
    Contact: Mauricio Galvez De París al Dakar: más de un siglo de victorias Peugeot El estímulo de la victoria, la adrenalina de la competición, la lucha por sacar el máximo partido a la tecnología y las prestacione, estos valores están muy presentes en la historia y filosofía de Peugeot desde su triunfo, en 1895, en la primera carrera de automóviles de la historia: la París-Burdeos-París. El León de Peugeot ha dejado su huella tanto en competiciones en circuito, como las 24 Horas Le Mans o las 500 Millas de Indianápolis, así como en los rallies más exigentes, como el Dakar o el Rally de Montecarlo. Actualmente, Peugeot Sport pone toda su experiencia y dominio técnico en el desarrollo de una gama de vehículos superdeportivos, con la electrificación y las emociones al volante como platos fuertes: el concept-car Peugeot 508 Engineered by Peugeot Sport es solo un anticipo de lo que está por venir. April 23, 2020, Ciudad de México - La mañana del 11 de junio de 1895 se respiraba expectación en los alrededores del Arco de Triunfo de París. Era el lugar elegido para dar la salida a una carrera muy especial: la París-Burdeos- París, una carrera en la que se medirían, por primera vez en la historia, los automóviles, un invento curioso y relativamente reciente. Se recorrerían un total de 1.178 kilómetros por los caminos y carreteras sin asfaltar de la época. El piloto podía viajar con un mecánico ya que, en caso de avería o incidencia sólo podrían resolver el problema por sus propios medios, sin recurrir a ningún tipo de ayuda externa.

  • Blitz Aus Heiterem Himmel
    BALLOT 3/8 LC BLITZ in Reihen-Achtzylinder-Motor ist per se nie etwas Gewöhnliches. Solche AUS Triebwerke kamen seit jeher nur in den prestigeträchtigsten Rennwagen und Luxuslimousinen zum Einsatz. Isotta Fraschini tat sich 1919 mit dem Eersten Serienmotor als Vorreiter hervor. Und HEITEREM andere Marken zogen bald nach, darunter Duesen- berg, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Cadillac und … Ballot. Dieser in Französisch Racing Blue lackierte Ballot 3/8 LC ist ein motorsportliches Meister- HIMMEL werk und war für eine kurze Zeitspanne das weltweit schnellste Renngerät seiner Klasse. Sein Ballots epochaler famoser Reihen-Achter war das Werk des 1885 in Genf geborenen Motoren-Gurus Ernest Henry. Reihen-Achtzylinder schrieb Doch obwohl Ballot Racer bei den 500 Meilen 1921 mit dem Sieg beim von Indianapolis der Jahre 1919 und 1920 die schnellsten Zeiten fuhren und 1921 in Brescia ersten GP von Italien ein den ersten GP von Italien gewannen, ist der Stück Motorsportgeschichte. Name Ballot heute weitgehend unbekannt. Ernest Ballot (geboren 1870) gründete »E. Bal- Wir haben ihn gefahren. lot et Cie.« 1904 und begann zunächst mit dem Bau von Motoren für andere Hersteller wie Delage Text Robert Coucher oder heute so unbekannte Marken wie Pierron, Fotos Paul Harmer Bearbeitung Thomas Imhof Barré, SCAP oder Mass. Aber auch Motorboote, Luftschiffe, Flugzeuge und sogar Dampfwalzen und Landwirtschaftsmaschinen wurden von den qualitativ hochwertigen und modernen Ballot- Aggregaten angetrieben. Die Verbindung zum Wasser lag besonders nahe, hatte Ballot seine Laufbahn doch in der Marine begonnen, die er nach siebeneinhalb Jahren – darunter fünf für eine mechanische Ausbildung – mit der Aus- zeichnung »Petty Officer Mechanic« 1894 verließ. Als Erinnerung an diese Zeit wählte er als Logo für sein Unternehmen einen kunstvollen Anker mit den Initialen E B.

  • Comunicat PEUGEOT L500 R Hybrid
    COMUNICAT DE PRESĂ 2016 L500 R HYbrid - viziunea PEUGEOT în Motorsport La 30 mai 1916, PEUGEOT L45, pilotat de Dario RESTA, câştigă cursa legendară de 500 mile de la Indianapolis cu o viteză medie de 135 km/h. 100 de ani mai târziu, PEUGEOT aduce omagiu unei echipe cu adevărat uimitoare – Charlatans , care a oferit mărcii PEUGEOT trei victorii superbe pe circuitul Indy 500 din Statele Unite între anii 1913 şi 1919 1 – prin prezentarea unei interpretări futuriste a maşinii de curse «indie»: PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid . Un concept racing care maximizează senzaţiile la volan PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid benefiază de o ţinută de drum care îl ajută să atingă potenţialul maxim incă de la start. Cu o formă aerodinamică, o înălţime de 1 metru şi o greutate de 1.000 kg, PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid este conceput pentru performanţă: este nevoie de doar 2,5 secunde pentru a ajunge la 100 km/h cu start din staţionare, iar de 19 secunde pentru a acoperi 1.000 de metri. Sistemul de propulsie hibrid, benzină/plug-in, de 500 CP dezvoltat de echipele Peugeot Sport, derivat al modelului 308 R HYbrid, dispune de două motoare electrice ( unul fata si unul spate), plus un motor pe benzină de 270 CP, obtinandu-se un cuplu maxim de 730 Nm. PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid afişează linii de stil rafinate, care pornesc de la Leul din grilă, înaintează către pilot şi se termină – în semn de recunoaştere pentru înaintaşul său – cu un spate în formă de fus care pune în scenă cele trei gheare distinctive ale stopurilor, ce caracterizează astăzi stilul PEUGEOT.
