November is Rotary Foundation Month
100 Years of Doing Good in the World
Arch Klumph’s idea for an endowment fund dedicated to “doing good in the world” planted the seed of The Rotary Foundation in 1917. Thanks to his vision and staunch advocacy, and the extraordinary generosity of Rotary members worldwide, that fund has become one of the World’s leading humanitarian foundations.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY...
December 1, 1913

Ford’s assembly line starts rolling

On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line to mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced its time to build a car from more than 12 hours to one hour and 33 minutes.

Ford’s Model T, introduced in 1908, was simple, sturdy, and relatively inexpensive–but not inexpensive enough for Ford, who was determined to build “motor car[s] for the great multitude.” (“When I’m through,” he said, “about everybody will have one.”) Ford figured that to lower the price of his cars, he would have to find a way to build them more efficiently.

The most significant piece of Ford’s efficiency crusade was the assembly line. Inspired by the continuous-flow production methods used by flour mills, breweries, canneries, and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago’s meat-packing plants, Ford installed moving lines for bits and pieces of the manufacturing process: For instance, workers built motors and transmissions on rope-and-pulley–powered conveyor belts. In December 1913, he unveiled the pièce de résistance: the moving-chassis assembly line.

In February 1914, he added a mechanized belt that chugged along at a speed of six feet per minute. As the pace accelerated, Ford produced more and more cars, and on June 4, 1924, the 10-millionth Model T rolled off the Highland Park assembly line.
