Description of Pictures: Our vast collection of artifacts large and small documents American manufacturing ingenuity from the 18th to 20th centuries. You’ll encounter the McCoy Lubricator, an historic Ingersoll Rand Planer—even participate in a hands-on event and assist in the assembly of a Model T—and more.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. HFMMM_160803_002.JPG: "Exploded" Model T: No object is more emblematic of America's Industrial Revolution than the Model T. To meet high demand, Henry Ford and his assistants created a moving assembly line that dramatically reduced the time it took to produce Model T's. It also established the template for all manufacturing that followed.
2. HFMMM_160803_008.JPG: Made in America: The United States growth from newborn nation to manufacturing superpower was unprecedented in the world. Made in America details how that evolution took place and the entrepreneurs who made it happen.
3. HFMMM_160803_017.JPG: Ford Motel T Touring Car, 1923
4. HFMMM_160803_021.JPG: American Innovators Henry Ford (1863-1947)
5. HFMMM_160803_032.JPG: Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark Model T Ford, 1908-1927 The Model T Ford transformed the world, reordering the nature of cities and countryside, work and leisure by demonstrating the broad appeal of automobility. Introduced in 1908, the Motel T claimed some notable engineering features, including vanadium steel forgings, and high ground clearance. Its larger significance lay in its being the first reliable mass-produced automobile. Henry Ford adopted and extended assembly-line techniques to reduce the car's price by nearly 60 percent while improving its quality. The Model T became a universal symbol of the capacity of modern engineering to transform luxuries into mass commodities. ASME 2005
6. HFMMM_160803_042.JPG: The Ford Method: Henry Ford said, "In mass production, there are no fitters." He meant that parts were so precisely made that anyone with a little training could put them together rapidly. The moving assembly line relied on these machine-made interchangeable parts reaching the assemblers as fast as they could use them.
7. HFMMM_160803_049.JPG: Here (seated, left to right), Ford engineers Charles Sorensen, P.E. Martin, and C. Harold Wills are shown in the Highland Park superintendent's office. They experimented with production schedules and assembly lines in several departments of the plant and modified each day as they learned more about how workers reacted.
8. HFMMM_160803_055.JPG: The Ford Motor Company encouraged public attention to its methods because the publicity increased public admiration for the product, the Model T. Books and articles in journals such as The Engineering Magazine, one of which appears here, made the Ford Motor Company the object of envy by industrialists the world over.
9. HFMMM_160803_059.JPG: Johansson Gage Blocks, 1923 This was Henry Ford's personal set of Johansson Gage Blocks. Precision was so important to mass production that in 1923 Henry Ford bought an entire Swedish company famous for precision measuring instruments -- the Johansson gage company -- and moved its founder and headquarters to Dearborn, Michigan.
10. HFMMM_160803_068.JPG: Clockmakers and Their Clocks: Clocks had to be useful and ornamental at the same time. Clockmakers combined the skills of a mechanic with the taste of an artist. Each clockmaker developed his own special styles in the clock mechanism and in the design of the clock face and the case.
11. HFMMM_160803_077.JPG: The Difference Between Master and Apprentice: Benjamin Youngs, a master clockmaster, made the clock on the left, below, while he was in his seventies. His nephew and apprentice, Benjamin Seth Youngs, made the clock on the right when he was in his early twenties. The master arranged the clockworks in an orderly, even elegant way. His apprentice laid out his works in a very complex, awkward manner.

13. HFMMM_160803_094.JPG: Made in America: The Industrial Revolution in America (lasting from about 1820 to 1920) radically altered how things were made and how workers did their jobs. The multitude of innovations that evolved during that time laid the foundation for how we live and work today.

15. HFMMM_160803_105.JPG: Creating the Model T: Ford recognized that true mass production involved synchronizing workers, materials, and machinery so that parts flowed smoothly through the factory. At Highland Park, Ford and his assistants started a manufacturing revolution.
16. HFMMM_160803_108.JPG: When Your Boss Followed You Home: Organizing workers meant that the company influenced workers' actions off the job as well as on it. Ford established apprentice schools to train men to skills the company wanted. It set up English-language classes to teach workers English and a good dose of middle-class values. These programs were intended to mold workers into obedient employees.

Wikipedia Description: Henry Ford Museum

Henry Ford Museum began as Henry Ford's personal collection of historic objects, which he began collecting as far back as 1906. Today, the 12 acre (49,000 m�) site is primarily a collection of antique machinery, pop culture items, automobiles, locomotives, aircraft, and other items:

* The museum features a 4K digital projection theater, which shows scientific, natural, or historical documentaries, as well as major feature films.
* A model of the nuclear-powered Ford Nucleon automobile
* An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile
* The 1961 Lincoln Continental, SS-100-X that President John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated.
* The rocking chair from Ford's Theatre in which President Abraham Lincoln was sitting when he was shot.
* George Washington's camp bed.
* A ten-person safety bicycle made in 1896.
* A collection of several fine 17th- and 18th-century violins including a Stradivarius.
* Thomas Edison's alleged last breath in a sealed tube.
* Buckminster Fuller's prototype Dymaxion house.
* The bus on which Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
* Igor Sikorsky's prototype helicopter.
* Fokker Trimotor airplane that flew the first flight over the North Pole.
* Bill Elliott's record-breaking race car clocking in at over 212 MPH at Talladega in 1987
* Fairbottom Bobs, the Newcomen engine
* A steam engine from Cobb's Engine House in England.
* The Automotive Hall of Fame, adjacent to the Henry Ford Museum.
* A working fragment of the original Holiday Inn "Great Sign"
* A Chesapeake & Ohio Railway 2-6-6-6 "Allegheny"-class steam locomotive built by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. The Allegheny was the most powerful steam locomotive ever built.
* Behind the scenes, the Benson Ford Research Center uses the resources of The Henry Ford, especially the photographic, manuscript and archival material which is rarely displayed, to allow visitors to gai ...More...

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
