But here is a partial list: New silent-action clutch; seats re-designed for greater comfort; new five-bearing crankshaft of finest alloy steel; new starting system; new steering ease; easier gear shifting; softer pedal action; new muffler; smart new lines and colors. Take the car out for a trial. Experience for yourself the new smoothness, quietness and ease of handling; and remember that these finer results are in addition to an enviable record for long life and low cost of operation and maintenance.

  • The Mighty Ford Trimotor: Helping to Forge a Global Aviation System on June 11, 1926, the Ford Trimotor Made Its First Flight
    The Mighty Ford Trimotor: Helping to Forge a Global Aviation System On June 11, 1926, the Ford Trimotor made its first flight. The plane, produced by the Ford Motor Company, and designed by William Bushnell Stout, revolutionized air transportation around the world. The Trimotor, one of the first all-metal airplanes, was the first plane built to carry passengers rather the mail. The original 4-AT model seated eight passengers, later increased to twelve, and then thirteen passengers. The plane had three engines, which allowed it to fly higher and faster than other airplanes of the same time period. It could reach speeds up to 150 miles per hour. The plane, affectionately called the Tin Goose or the Flying Washboard, proved exceptionally reliable, able to land safely with just one of its three engines. The nicknames apparently reflected the plane’s attributes. Flying Washboard because of its corrugated external body. Tin Goose, perhaps because many called Ford’s Model T car, the Tin Lizzie. Writer Larry Janoff offers another explanation for the name: “it ‘waddled’ down the runway like a goose and the three loud engines could sound like a goose honking.” Ford, like other automobile companies, entered the aviation business during World War I, building Liberty engines. After the war, it returned to auto manufacturing until 1925. That year, Henry Ford acquired the Stout Metal Airplane Company for an estimated $1 million. In announcing his purchase on August 6, Henry Ford remarked, “The first thing that must be done with aerial navigation is make it fool-proof . What the Ford Motor Company means to do is prove whether commercial flying can be done safely and profitably.” Ford remarked that he had never been in the air and had no desire to fly.

A margin call gone wrong: Credit, stock prices, and Germany's Black Friday 1927 Stefan Gissler∗ February 15, 2015 Abstract Leverage is often seen as villain in financial crises.
