I ran across this video of a brief history of Henry Ford's Model T. Quite interesting.

Amazing how many people worked on the assembly line back then.

I didn't see the offical cranker that started the engines at the end of the line, did you? Must of had one sore arm by the end of the day.  :lol:

Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

I think they must have started by the short roll down the ramp at the end of the line.  It looked like in the last shot of the final car you can see a dust cloud as the car starts.

I owned my share of cars that I often tried to park on a little hill to help get started.

Bernd:
I think your right Ron. I went back and looked.

Be a bit difficult today with the automatics and all the other gizmos on the cars. I think you'd need about a 45 degree angle or better.  :lol:
