Automobile Timeline

1908 Model T introduced

1. Henry Ford begins making the Model T. First-year production is 10,660 cars. 

• That point is important because back then 10 660 cars was a lot because people didn't have a lot of money back then.

1926 First power steering system

1. Francis Wright Davis uses a Pierce-Arrow to introduce the first power steering system. It works by integrating the steering linkage with a hydraulics system

• I think this point is important because it makes the car streer better for you cant urn around turns better

1931 First modern independent front suspension system

1. Mercedes-Benz introduces the first modern independent front suspension system, giving cars a smoother ride and better handling. By making each front wheel virtually independent of the other though attached to a single axle, independent front suspension minimizes the transfer of road shock from one wheel to the other.

• I think this is important because its a easy way to control the car by just turning the 2 front wheels it will make it alot easier turn around turns.

1966

Electronic fuel injection system developed An electronic fuel injection system is developed in Britain. Fuel injection delivers carefully controlled fuel and air to the cylinders to keep a car’s engine running at its most efficient. I think this is important because it makes the car start easier in the winter because with carburettor you have to pump it to pump the gad through the motor but corroborator is easier to work on.
