"This  is a great video showing the first  assembly lines at  the original Ford auto plant.

Neat to see those guys making the old wooden   wheels, by hand mostly......

The places that car could go ...... is amazing !!"

That was neat the way they actually had a machine help with finishing assembly of the wood spoke wheel.

Also noted the smoke coming from the rear exhaust of each car as it was driven off the assembly line.

According to one of the online money calculators, $5 per day in 1909 was the equivalent of $125 per day, today.
