Henry Ford (Henry Ford) is an American industrialist, inventor, owner of factories for the production of cars.
Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 in the village of Springfield, near Dearborn (Michigan).
He was the eldest of six children of immigrants from Ireland, William Ford and Mary Ford, who owned a successful farm.
Henry spent his childhood on his parents ' farm, where he helped the family and attended a rural school.
Ford showed interest in technology at a young age.
At the age of 12, he equipped a small workshop, where he enthusiastically spent all his free time.
It was there that Ford designed his first steam engine a few years later.
In 1879, Henry Ford moved to Detroit, where he got a job as an assistant machinist.
Three years later, he moved to Dearborn and for five years was engaged in the design and repair of steam engines, working occasionally at a factory in Detroit.
In 1887, at the Congress of electrical engineers in Atlantic City, Henry Ford met with the inventor and millionaire Thomas Edison and told him what he was working on.
Ford asked if, in his opinion, internal combustion engines have a future and expected that the scientist would burst into a eulogy for the glory of omnipotent electricity, but he heard: "Keep working on your car.
If you achieve the goal that you have set for yourself, then I predict a great future for you."
Ford was elated, Edison himself believed in him.
In the late 1980s, Henry Ford took the position of manager at a sawmill.
In 1891, he was an engineer of the Edison Illuminating company, since 1893 the chief engineer of the company.
A decent salary and a sufficient amount of free time allowed Ford to devote more time to the development of internal combustion engines.
In 1899, after retiring from the Edison Illuminating company, Henry Ford founded his own company, Detroit Automobile.
Despite the fact that the company went bankrupt a year later, Ford managed to assemble several racing cars.
In 1903, twelve businessmen from the state of Michigan, led by Henry Ford, founded the Ford Motor Company.
Ford held a 25.5% stake in the company and held the positions of vice president and chief engineer of the company.
A former van factory in Detroit was converted into an automobile factory.
Teams consisting of two or three workers, under the direct supervision of Ford, assembled cars from spare parts that were made to order by other enterprises.
Just a month later, the company's first car was released.
In 1905, Ford's financial partners did not agree with his intention to produce cheap cars, since expensive models were in demand.
The owner of the main stake, Alexander Malcolmson, sold his share to Ford, and he became the president and the main owner of the company.
In 1908, Henry Ford realized his dream by releasing the model " T " - a reliable and inexpensive car that became one of the most popular and popular cars of its time.
Ford's car was easy to drive, it did not require complex maintenance and could drive even on rural roads, becoming a means of transportation, and not a toy for the rich.
In 1913, the conveyor production of the model was established, which led to a significant reduction in cost.
In order to exercise strict control, Ford created a full production cycle: from ore mining and metal smelting to the production of a finished car.
In 1914, he introduced the highest minimum wage in the United States — $ 5 a day, allowed workers to participate in the company's profits, built an exemplary work settlement, but until 1941 he did not allow trade unions to be formed at his factories.
In 1914, the corporation's factories began working around the clock — in 3 shifts of 8 hours each.
In 1909, Ford's cooperation with Russia began.
The company's sales offices were opened in St. Petersburg, and then in Moscow, Odessa and the Baltic port cities.
In 1919, at the initiative of the Soviet Bureau in New York, Ford made a deal to sell Fordzon tractors to Soviet Russia, the cooperation continued later.
In 1919, Henry Ford and his son Edsel (Edsel Bryant Ford) bought out the shares of the company from other shareholders and became the sole owners of the company.
In the same year, Edsel inherited from his father the post of president of the company, which he held until his death in 1943.
After the sudden death of his son, Henry Ford again had to take the helm of the company.
In September 1945, Henry Ford handed over the powers to his eldest grandson, Henry Ford II (Henry Ford II).
Henry Ford wrote several books, among them: "My Life and Work" (My Life and Work,1922)," Today and Tomorrow "(Today and Tomorrow, 1926)," Moving Forward " (Moving Forward, 1931).
In 1936, together with his son, he created the Ford Foundation.
In May 1946, Ford was awarded an honorary award for services to the automotive industry, and at the end of the same year, the American Petroleum Institute presented him with a gold medal for services to the community.
On April 7, 1947, Henry Ford died at the age of 83 at his home in Deeborn.
Henry Ford was married to Clara Bryant (1866-1950), they had a son — Edsel Bryant Ford (1893-1943).
