Henry Ford Meeting Thomas Edison, 1923
In 1923, two of the greatest minds in American history met. Thomas Edison, who was responsible for such inventions as the phonograph, the modern motion picture camera and even the electric lightbulb met Henry Ford, the man who founded the Ford Motor Company and conceptualized the modern assembly line. It might seem strange that the two men lived during the same time in American history, but it’s true. Edison was born in the year 1847 and lived until 1931 and Henry Ford was born in 1863 and passed away in 1947.
