    THE HENRY FORD COLLECTING INNOVATION TODAY TRANSCRIPT OF A VIDEO ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH TRANSPORTATION CURATOR BOB CASEY ON HENRY FORD JANUARY 20, 2011 HENRY FORD MUSEUM DEARBORN, MI ©THE HENRY FORD 2011 INTERVIEWER: BARRY HURD PRODUCER: JUDITH ENDELMAN 2 BARRY HURD: 01:01:01;28 Okay. Ford didn't invent the car, didn't invent the assembly line. But, you know, when you think about, why is he considered one of the greatest innovators of all time? BOB CASEY: 01:01:12;08 That question, if Ford didn't invent the car or the assembly line, why is he an innovator? That really gets to the whole difference between an inventor and an innovator. Lots of other people had worked on cars. Lots of other people were actually building and selling cars before Henry Ford. 01:01:31;15 His great innovation was to be able to build a car in high volumes at low prices that people would want to buy. And, by making the car available to lots of people, not just a relatively wealthy elite, he turned it from an invention that was kind of a toy for the rich people into an innovation that became a practical transportation device for millions, literally. BARRY HURD: 01:02:00;22 So, for, an invention to become an innovation, it has to influence a large, what, what's your take on that? 3 BOB CASEY: 01:02:07;23 I believe that, the fundamental difference between an invention and an innovation is an invention is something new and interesting.

  • Change in the Us Automobile Industry
    TECH N 0 LOGI G-A~L~ CHANGE IN THE U.S. AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY: A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW The United States automobile iqdustry was born in Springfield, Massachu­ setts, in 1896, when J. Frank Duryea made thirteen cars from the same plans. This was the first time in the United States that two cars were made from the same design and the first tirqe that cars were produced for sale.1 During the next ten years, developments were typical of an emerging industry. A great diversity of products appeared on the market. Each automobile was produced in very limited quantities, often to consumer or9er, and each model was rapidly made obsolete by succeeding models. Most models were built by entrepreneur-tinkers in their own back yards or in local machine shops, using equipment that was rudimentary, even at that time. At the tum of the century, the Stanley brothers designed and built their own steam-driven automobile and drove it to the top of Pikes Peak; electric, gasoline, and steam cars were built in many eastern and midwestern cities; and Henry Ford, who had already built one car in his spare time, was beginning to build a second.2 By 1909, there were sixty-nine manufacturing firms in the industry, each committed to its own design. But technological change was rapid, and only half of these firms survived for even seven years.s Today there is little real diversity among the va.rious U.S. automobile designs. The 350 models of U.S. manu~acturer.s ofle!" options in re~pect to size, price, horsepower, and fuel economy, but in basic design features they are all very similar.

  • Automotive Developments 1600-1929 No Matter How Well Automobiles Run
    Automotive Developments 1600-1929 No matter how well automobiles run, people complained about this or that and wanted continual improvements made. Pioneer drivers fretted about pesky details such as the buttoning down of side-curtains in a sudden storm; the stoking of a Clark charcoal auto heater; the frustration of a broken drive-chain wrapped around a rear axle and the feeble flicker of the carbide lamp on the dark country roads. Something had to be done to stop all the complaining! 1600 - The Dutch employed wind power to propel sail-mounted carriages which raced along at 20 mph and held scores of passengers. It is quite probable that both speed and load capacity were exaggerated. Later, small carriages were equipped with wind- mills, the mill vanes geared to the wheels. These were probably the first land vehicles to be propelled by anything other than animal or human muscle power, but people complained because the vehicles depended on the whim of a breeze. 1680 - Sir Isaac Newton conceived of a vehicle propelled by a "rear- wardly directed jet of steam." This idea didn't evolve for use in the automobile, but it was later used in rocket thrust. 1698 - Thomas Savery invented the first steam engine in Britain. It was crude, inefficient, and even dangerous, since it blew up quite often. 1711 - Thomas Newcomen, an English blacksmith, improved upon Savery's engine. 1769 - James Watt, a Scottish instrument maker, patented a steam engine that became widely used in British mines, mills, and factories. Nicholas Joseph Cugnot, an officer financed by the French government, built a steam-propelled, 3-wheeled artillery wagon, which raced along at 3 mph.
