Wayengubani uHenry Ford?

UHenry Ford wayengusomashishini waseMelika owasungula i 'Ford Motor Company,' ethengisa iimoto kunye nezithuthi zorhwebo phantsi kwegama elithi 'Ford'. Uye wadlala indima enkulu kuphuhliso lobuchule 'bendibano' yemveliso ngobuninzi. Ngaphambi kokuba aqale inkampani yakhe, uninzi lweentsapho zaseMelika ezikudidi oluphakathi zazingenakho ukuthenga iimoto. Nangona kunjalo, iFord yaguqula ishishini leemoto ngokuphuhlisa kunye nokwenza iimoto ezifikelelekayo ezinokuthengwa lula nanguluntu olukumgangatho ophakathi. Uzalelwe kumfama kwilokishi yaseGreenfield, eMichigan, waqala ukubonisa iimpawu zobunkokeli kunye nezakhono zobuchwephesha njengenkwenkwana. Kwakulindeleke ukuba alandele ekhondweni likayise kwaye abe ngumlimi, kodwa wayenazo ezinye izicwangciso zakhe. Ekrelekrele kwaye esebenza nzima, wafunda ngomatshini kwaye waba yinjineli. Enomdla kwiimoto, waqala ngokwenza uvavanyo lokuzakha. Ngeli xesha, waqhelana nomqambi odumileyo uThomas Edison owayekhuthaza iimvavanyo zakhe. Ekhuthazekile, uFord wakha iimoto ezininzi ngaphambi kokuseka ‘iFord Motor Company.’ Njengosomashishini, wamkela izinto ezininzi ezintsha kwinkampani yakhe eziguqula lonke ushishino lweemoto. Wayesaziwa kakhulu ngeembono zakhe zokulwa imfazwe kunye nokuchasa ngokungaginyisi mathe kwiimfazwe.

Uluhlu olucetyiswayo:

Ukubuyela ekhaya, waqala ukusebenza kwifama yosapho kwaye waba yingcali ekusebenziseni i-injini yomphunga ephathekayo yaseWestinghouse. Izakhono zakhe zobuchwephesha zafumana ukwamkelwa kwaye waqeshwa yi-'Westinghouse 'ukuba basebenze iinjini zabo zomphunga.

Ubuchule bakhe bokumelana nezinto nokuqonda izinto ezintsha kwakhokelela ekutyunjweni kwakhe njengenjineli yasebusuku ye-'Edison Electric Illuminating Company 'ngo-1891. Wawufumana lo msebenzi unika umdla kakhulu nanjengoko wafumana ithuba lokufunda banzi ngombane, neyayingumbono omtsha ke lowo. emva koko.

Esebenza nzima kwaye ezimisele, uFord wenyuka kwisikhundla sokuba yinjineli eyintloko ye ‘Illuminating Company’ ngonyaka ka 1896. Ngaphandle kokusebenzela inkampani, waqalisa nokusebenza ekwakheni iimoto, into awayehlala eyithanda.

Wazimanya neqela labahlobo bakhe isithuthi esizihambelayo, iquadricycle. Isithuthi sasineevili ezine zeengcingo ezazibonakala ngathi zinamavili eebhayisikile ezinzima kunye ne-tiller yokuqhuba. Kwakunemilinganiselo emibini yokuhamba phambili ngaphandle kokubuyela umva.

Wadibana noThomas Edison owavuma ukulinga kwakhe. Ekhuthazekile, uFord uqhubeke nokuphucula imodeli yakhe yemoto, kwaye wagqiba imoto yesibini ngo-1898.

UFord emva koko uthathe isigqibo sokuyila eyakhe inkampani kwaye wayeka emsebenzini. Waseka i-‘Detroit Automobile Company ’ngo-1899. Nangona kunjalo, iimoto eziveliswe yile nkampani azizange ziqhube kakuhle kwimarike. Kungekudala, wanyanzelwa ukuba alivale ishishini.

Emva koko waqala ukusebenza ekuphuculeni umgangatho weemoto zakhe. Waphumelela ugqatso lwemoto enamahashe angama-26 ngo-Okthobha u-1901. Emva koko wadibana nabanini bempahla 'yeDetroit Automobile Company' yakhe i-'Henry Ford Inkampani 'ngo-Novemba ngo-1901.

Nangona kunjalo, eminye imicimbi yeza phakathi kweFord kunye nabanye abagcini benkampani kunye neFord bayishiya inkampani. Emva kokuhamba kukaFord, le nkampani yathiywa igama kwathiwa yiCadillac Automobile Company.

Engoyiki ukusilela kwelinye iphulo, uqhubeke nokuthanda kwakhe ukwakha iimoto. Wakha iimoto ezininzi ezibalekayo kule minyaka ilandelayo, kubandakanya i-'999 'racer, eyayibonakala ithembisa.

Ngo-1903, uHenry wahlanganisa ‘iFord Motor Company.’ Abatyali mali bokuqala baquka uHenry Ford, Alexander Y. Malcomson, abazalwana bakaDodge, noJohn S. Gray phakathi kwabanye. Malunga neli xesha, umqhubi womdyarho u-Barney Oldfield waqhuba u-'999 'kwilizwe liphela, esenza uphawu' lweFord 'lwaziwe kulo lonke elaseMelika.

Inkampani yasungula 'Model T' ngo-Okthobha u-1908. Isithuthi sasinevili lokuqhuba ngasekhohlo-umbono apho ezinye iinkampani zeemoto zakhuphela khona kungekudala. Imodeli ibonakalise ukuba yimpumelelo enkulu njengoko ibingenakufikeleleka kuphela kodwa kwaye ilula ukuqhuba. Kwakulula kwaye kungabizi mali ininzi ukulungisa isithuthi.

'Imodeli T' yayiphumelele kangangokuba iFord kwafuneka iyandise kakhulu imveliso yayo ukuze ikwazi ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo. Ukuze kuhlangatyezwane nemfuno, uFord kunye nabasebenzi benkampani yakhe baqulunqa umatshini wokuhambisa iimoto ngo-1913. Inkampani yavelisa iindlela zokwenza imveliso ngobuninzi, eyabenza bakwazi ukwandisa imveliso yabo.

'Imodeli T' ilawula intengiso yeemoto iminyaka eliqela. Ngo-1918, isiqingatha sazo zonke iimoto eMelika yayinguModeli Ts. Ngo-1918, uFord wanikezela ubongameli buka ‘Ford Motor Company’ kunyana wakhe uEdsel Ford, nangona wayesigcinile isigqibo sokugqibela.

Phakathi ku-1920s, ukuthengiswa kwe ‘Model T’ kwaqala ukwehla. Ke, inkampani yazisa 'iFord Model A' ngo-1927. Imodeli entsha yangqineka inenzuzo de kwaba li-1931, kodwa inkampani yaqhubeka ukwehla ngeminyaka yoo-1930. Ngo-1936, 'iFord Motor Company' yayiwele kwindawo yesithathu kwimakethi yase-US, emva kwe-'General Motors 'kunye ne' Chrysler Corporation. '

UHenry Ford wayengumntu othanda ukulwa. Xa kwaqhambuka ‘iMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi’ ngo-1939, wakuchasa ukungena kwe-United States emfazweni. Nangona kunjalo, xa iMelika yangena emfazweni, ‘iFord Motor Company’ yaba ngomnye woonokontraka bezomkhosi baseMelika, ababonelela ngeenqwelo moya, ii-injini, ii-jeeps kunye neetanki.

Intlekele yehlela uFord owalupheleyo ngo-1943 xa unyana wakhe uEdsel wabulawa ngumhlaza. Nangona uHenry Ford waphinda waqalisa ukulawula inkampani emva kokubhubha konyana wakhe, akazange asebenzise igunya elipheleleyo. Izigqibo eziphambili zathathwa ngabanye kwaye wayexhomekeke kakhulu. Ekugqibeleni, umzukulwana wakhe uHenry Ford II wenziwa umongameli wenkampani.

UHenry Ford wayengumsunguli we ‘Ford Motor Company,’ owaguqula ishishini leemoto. Ngaphantsi kobunkokheli bukaFord, inkampani yazisa ngeendlela zokwenza imveliso enkulu yeemoto kunye nolawulo olukhulu lwabasebenzi bemizi-mveliso besebenzisa ubuchule obukhethekileyo. Namhlanje, yeyesibini ngobukhulu e-automaker esekwe e-US.

UFord wanikwa imbasa yeFranklin ‘Elliott Cresson Medal’ ngo-1928.

Ngo-1938, uFord wawongwa ngamaJamani amaNazi ‘Grand Cross of the German Eagle,’ imbasa eyanikwa abantu basemzini ababenovelwano ngobuNazi.

Watshata noClara Jane Bryant ngo-1888, kwaye baba nonyana ogama linguEdsel.

UHenry Ford usweleke ngenxa yokopha ebuchotsheni ngomhla we-7 ku-Epreli 1947, eneminyaka engama-83. Umngcwabo wakhe wabanjelwa kwiCawa yaseCethedral yaseSt. Paul. Amathambo akhe aswelekayo angcwatyelwa ‘kumangcwaba eFord’ eDetroit.
