edison and ford knew each other and ford was a younger man, one of the first jobs ford got when he wasan was not in automobiles but in electricity. he worked on electrical dynamos as a young man. one of the first jobs henry ford got was working at thomas edison's electric company in detroit, michigan. he was a farm boy and he hated farm work. he did the grocery of farm work and he hated working outside in all brothers, the kind of stuff farmers have to do to make a living. and the thing henry ford didn't like. henry ford was a natural aptitude for machinery and he loved angry with machines, early machines. he grew up in the 1880s and 90s and during that. , esteem engines were all the things. steam engines were huge, they were used to power factories and on the farm, they had steam engines on wheels they could roll farm to farm and fire up the help with the harvest, you could have it brought to your firm. these things were huge, like locomotive. they were called -- locomotives because they didn't need tracks to run, they were big iron wheels but the engines themselves were the size of r

success story henry ford and the american ford museum. then there's a third component which is a theme park. and it is an idea that caught towards fancy later on in life to create the kind of america that he felt was a true america. so he would die the birthplaces of famous americans like the building where he was born in the house where he grew up. he moved it from the farm in michigan to this park and he set it down and created a little farmer around it. he moved it to dearborn and he said it in this park i think nathaniel hawthorne's birthplaces there and the wright brothers shop where they sold bicycles. he would collect the buildings the way that other people collect whatever people collect. he created this fabulous wonderful place where you can see american architecture change and laid out and parts of it, there's a central part of it which is sort of like henry ford's theme of america. it has a white brick house with its people and a pond in beautiful houses just laid out. it's remarkable to me that he went from building a 75-mile

edison and ford knew each other andd ford was a younger man, one of the first jobs ford got when he was a young man was not in automobiles, but in electricity. he worked on electrical dynamo as a young man and one of the first jobs henry ford got was working at the thomas edison's electric company in detroit michigan. ford had grown up in michigan. he was a farmboy, he was a poor farm boy and he hated farm work. he hated the drudgery and working outside in all the weather's the kind of stuff farmers have to do to make a living in this world where things henry ford really didn't like. henry ford was a smart kid and he had a naturalas aptitude for machinery. he loved tinkering with machines, early machines. he grew up, sort of came of age in the 1880s and 1890s and during that period, steam engines were all the things. steam engines were huge and were used to power factories. on the farm they had steam engines on wheels that they could rule from farm to farm and fire up to help with the harvest to have an engine brought to your farm. these things were huge. they were like locomotives. the

ford daughter susan ford bales. >> thank you and welcome everyone. you know, today many people call washington a swamp. day, but back with when the ground breaking began in 1790 and the white house itself is situated on top of the hill, and just like capitol hill, there's literally a physical hill underneath the white house. the white house looks down in historical time on swampy land historical time on swampy land i like to call it the three bs, bare, bleak and brown. when john adams moved in in 1800. and the period accounts go on to state visitors from that time described as, i believe the it was a barren, stony, unfenced waste. it was not a great looking place simply because it was a construction site for so many years -- >> well, but the world was used to the european standard of fabulous palaces and manicured gardens. and europe, which had been around for centuries building up its public places, it sounds to me like the early white house is what george washington would have wanted, something simple. an executive mansion, not a palace. >> that's

he was talented of course and his superiors thought henry ford ford -- brought henry ford to an edison company event of which thomas edison was present. edison is established and older, rich and famous and ford is a nobody. the two of them started a conversation with the young whiz kid who is adept with machines and the older guy who understands inventions and they start talking and what they start talking about is an idea that henry ford has four building a newld kind of automobile and ford has been playing around with the idea of powering an automobile with gasoline and he's inventing an improved gasoline engine. he's putting together bits and pieces in his spare time and trying to make this revolutionary new gas engine and edison assassinated. he listens to this young man ans he tanks boy he's really got something going on. the two of them become friends and it was years later after ford the assembly line is a way of making the model to cut down costs tremendously and ford put it together with his automobile. everybody wanted the model t. this was a revolution in america because up

ford. and the rose garden was always a formal office space. it was an official event space. it wasn't just for the dogs. every once many a while you could tell the presidents' dogs had been there. but it was a beautiful setting, outdoor setting that was used con instantly even -- constantly, even in somewhat cold, somewhat rainy weather. jacqueline kennedy redid the rose garden. was that a dramatic departure point from generations before, or was it a process of evolution? >> definitely a process of evolution and if kind of a dramatic -- and kind of a dramatic point of departure. so i guess the answer to your question is both. the, so. really the history of that site as a garden space begins in 1903 with first lady roosevelt. she developed a garden there and also on the east side where the current jacqueline kennedy garden is located. known then and now as colonial-style gardens. boxwood hedges, gravel walks, garden flowers, old-fashioned favorites in addition to peonies, there was phlox and

the ford motor company, general motors, and chrysler. detroit's early industrial history prior to the turn of the last century brought in many immigrants, mostly from western europe. they settled here and took good jobs and helped build the industries that they were involved in. following the turn of the 19th century, we had quite an influx of people from mediterranean countries, from eastern europe, that really helped build detroit into this wonderful melting pot of various neighborhoods, polish neighborhoods, serbian, russian, hungarian. there were lots and lots of folks that were living amongst each other and working together in the car companies. in fact i've heard the rouge plant described kind of as the tower of babel because there were so many different languages from cyrillic to arabic being spoken on the same assembly line. many of those people who came here had settled and their families have worked in the plants for years. many generations, one after another. in the 1920s, 1930s, the great migration brought both white and blac

charles brady king, not henry ford, charles brady king designed this car. he designed the engine that went inside of it. oliver who helped him with the engine drove him down detroit. he was about 25 feet behind chasing him. people started to understand that you could take a steam engine and apply it to an automobile. eventually electricity was used too that. electricity cars existed before gasoline engine. a gentleman developed a gasoline powered engine and took it to the columbian exhibition in 1893 in chicago. he showed it off to everybody. a lot of guys from detroit, from lansing, chicago, milwaukee, all of these people saw this engine and the gasoline engine became the most popular way of powering cars. probably the biggest problem that these early vehicles ran into was the lack of decent roads. the bicycle folk, people who enjoyed riding bicycles started a movement to make the roads better. they were constantly getting stuck many the mud. charles brady king went on and starpted the king automobile company. the king car company and put out a number of c

andy ford created the model t around 1908. -- henry ford created the model t before 1908. there was a period of experiments before it launched. they walled off an area of the factor viii to do their experiments -- to do their experiments. there was palladium steel, a number of other features if you could get in a higher price car. to start off with, there was not an assembly line here at this plant when the first model ts rolloff. -- world of -- rolled off. it was made by hand. the assembly line did develop here, eventually. initially, there was not one. the idea was that they were looking at ways to build cars faster and faster. that would lead to the experiments to do an assembly line. the public reaction to the first ford cars was really enthusiastic. you have to remember there might've been about 100 automakers in the united states at the time. in detroit alone you had packard, cadillac, buick, oldsmobile, studebaker was getting involved in the automobile business. they were a big carriage maker. a lot of different companies. the model t eventually did become more succ

our customers are saying please build more electric vehicles from ford. ashley: but i hate to sound like the skeptic but i'm just going off the numbers, electric vehicles still only represent about 3% of overall sales. there has to be a tipping point when people make that conversion , jim, but it seems like it's a long ways down the road. what am i getting wrong? >> well first of all, i'd like you to look at europe. the december year and hail ago, december 2%, just like the u.s. today, 2% of the european market was all electric vehicles. a year later, 12% of the market. so these technology shifts, they don't happen linearly. they happen quickly, and if you're not ready, you're going to miss. we're seeing electric customers make their brand preferences and it maybe only 2% of the industry but they are making their brand preferences. we do not want to be out of the market when people are making new choices about brands and product preferences as this market is starting, and whether it's in china or europe , we see this market, it can move very very quickly

but henry ford did not want to be a farmer.e was more interested in machinery and one of his heroes was thomas edison. so, he eventually got to detroit and started working for the edison illuminating company. in his spare time, he tinkered around with wanting to build his own motor and build his own car. personal transportation of the time when henry ford got started included the horse and buggy. we also had streetcars at that time that operated. there were things called interurbans which connected little city neighborhoods instead of just the large railways. it was not very well developed. bicycles, that was another form of transportation that gave people mobility. a number of other entrepreneurs in this area were building bicycles to give people mobility. typically in that time you did not go more than 50 miles from your home, maybe become in your lifetime. there was a big need, people wanted to move around. they just didn't have that ability until the car came out. henry ford's desire to build the model t starts with the ide

this was a ford car. it's from the lincoln division of ford. it was actually designed by an italian company, gia, and the particular stylist who came up with this concept, a guy named phil schmidt, got the idea when he was diving. snorkeling or scuba diving. does this look like any underwater animal to you? a shark maybe? he got the idea for this car from seeing a shark when he was diving underwater. does this car look forward to anybody? like from a 1960 tv series? the automobile stylist george barras got ahold of this car, and in the 1960s, abc-tv approached him about designing a car for their new tv series. he only had two or three weeks to do this, but he took this car out of storage and created the batmobile. he used the car as a template for the batmobile car. so this'll give you another idea of how concept cars which harley earl really pioneered were used by automobile makers and automobile stylists. so those were some of harley earl's contributions. he really, he was a maverick stylist who pushed the envelope of automobile style to infl
