Henry Ford kicks ass. The father of the Industrial assembly line.
Funny how technology evolves, the assembly line was based, indirectly, from slaughterhouses' "disassembly line" (ie., lining up pigs for slaughter and each step has a process). Another key ingredient for assembly lines = interchangeable parts.
It's weird how things one would think are so far apart and unrelated can lead to major breakthroughs.

Well guess what Henry Ford had no problems after that.
