In mid 1913, Ford Motor put on the assembly line ignition systems, motor and gearbox plant in Highland Park, Michigan. In this chain assembly time for the ignition system is saving up to 75%, from 20 minutes to a reduced 5 minutes. The effective use of line to level the close-cylinder assembly can not catch up the progress. At the end of 1913, instead of all the details to look-cylinder mounted on the pulley system is put to use to move the taxi close to the end of the assembly line. This method quickly reduces assembly time for a close-xi from 12 hours to 2 hours, and at the end of December 1913, the time is shortened to 40 minutes. Continuous line is put into use in 01 in 1914.

Having the advantages of Vietnamese continuous assembly line, Ford's labor policies apply "to work 8 hours a day pay $ 5," This is double the salary of the normal level, but Ford knew that to do so he could create a kick to the market model "T".
With a continuous line, Ford has pushed yields exceed 500,000 vehicles / year, while lowering cost Model "T" down to 440 dollars and increase wages by 5 dola/ngay- double the industry standard America and the equivalent of 6 working days per worker in the UK.
