英语词汇assembly line的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	assembly line
词源	assembly line. The term assembly line was first recorded in 1914 in connection with Henry Ford’s car company, but the practice in America goes back at least to the 18th century, when muskets were made from several standard parts in one factory. Among automobile manufacturers, Henry Ford is generally credited with the idea for an assembly line, but Ford actually improved upon a method the Olds Motor Ve- hicle Company, maker of the Oldsmobile, used long before him in 1902, although he did introduce the electric conveyer belt.
