The Automobile Its First 100 Years

It began when we realized animals could carry us from one place to another as the
centuries rolled by we used this mobility to expand our horizons while at the same time
seeking even better ways to travel. We harnessed the power of steam and began to
replace animals with engines but it was not until the development of the internal (1)
Combustion engine and the discovery of tools of oil deep in the earth that we were able
to achieve a basic improvement in individual (2) Transport In 1886 two (3) Vehicles
were unveiled only months apart by German engineers Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler.
The automobile was born. Gottlieb Daimler was the first to see a wide variety of uses for
the (4) Gasoline burning internal combustion (5) Engine, he tried it first in a motorcycle
and when that was a success he was ready to install his engine in a carriage. At the same
time Karl Benz working only 60 miles away was developing his own vehicle but while
Daimler was installing his engine in a carriage Benz was creating. The world's first (6)
Automobile from scratch it was successfully driven in late 1885 and patented on January
29th 1886 which is the birth date of the automobile Daimler's vehicle made its appearance
a few months’ later production spread from Germany to France Italy and England and to
help establish the practicality of the automobile races were held over the roads of the
continent.
These roads have been used for many hundreds of years and were in relatively good
condition certainly much better than those in North America. The races attracted great
numbers of spectators anxious to get their first look at the vehicles that would change
their lives but the (7) Automobile in Europe was still to a great extent a plaything for the
wealthy and would continue to be so until well into the 20th century. In the meantime, the
automobile was taking quite a different road in the United States where the introduction
of the (8) Car came about through an 1888 agreement between Daimler and piano
manufacturer William Steinway but it was Charles Duryea an Illinois bicycle
manufacturer who built the first American automobile. It made its appearance on
September 20th 1893 two years later he and his brother Frank established the first
American company to manufacture automobiles. In 1896 a rather primitive (9) Vehicle
appeared one of the hundreds of home-built cars of the time this one was made by an
obscure Detroit electric company (10) Engineering named Henry Ford another of the
many experimenting with cars was ransom olds a Michigan engine manufacturer who
understood the potential of the automobile when a fire destroyed his Detroit Factory in
1901 the only vehicle to survive was a curved - model by using it as a prototype and
subcontracting work to local shops olds was able to produce 425 cars that year a car
designed not for the wealthy but for everyone the curve - Oldsmobile was a light sturdy
economical vehicle adapted to the harsh American road condition.
2. Honda Life - Full Documentary

By the mid-1980s most of the world's automobile manufacturers looked upon the
Japanese born Honda Motor Company with envy with its booming sales of engines.
Motorcycles and automobiles the Honda Motor Company was a brilliant example of
Japan's thriving industrial sector follow many. The success of Honda Motors seemed to
happen in the blink of an eye. The story of the company proves it is far from being an
overnight sensation.
In 1989 search hero Honda was inducted into the (1) Automobile makers Hall of Fame in
Detroit Michigan, for Honda the honor was indicative of how far he and the (2)
Company he found it had come. The Honda Motor Company had risen from the (3)
Devastration of world war II by clipping surplus military engines onto bicycles to create
motorbikes.
Now 50 years later the company had become truly global in scope producing and selling
its engines (4) Motorcycles and automobiles in dozens of countries. The Honda name is
now known the world over and the company stands poised to enter the 21st century as a
multinational giant in the (5) Automotive world. Yet the success of Honda Motors or (6)
Perhaps even the idea of building an automobile would have seemed quite distant to the
young boys who later led Honda Motors to prominence so Jiro Honda was born in 1906
in the rural village of come located over 200 miles from Tokyo.
Honda's father was blacksmith often the young Soujiro would work by his father's side
helping to repair the bicycles that were becoming a popular form of (7) Transport in
Japan. He lived in a small village in Japan. I believe near the Hama Matsu (8) Area and
evidently he came in. He was very interested in automobiles at an early age and he told
one story about how it might have been a Model T or a Model A had come through his
village all of a sudden here Honda sees this thing going down the (9) Road and it was
that we said I'm a Model T Ford and he was just enthralled by it.
I guess the closest thing we can (10) Explain to us how the young people in this country
went to with the Barnstormers of the 20s with layer airplanes when they saw their first
airplane and he saw this vehicle and it horseless carriage whatever you want to call it ran
and it came through and it dripped a little bit of oil which was the only thing that the only
residue horses have a little different residue that they leave behind the oil he put his foot
his fingers in there he actually smelled the oil and they say you had gasoline in your veins
well.

3. History of Ford USA Documentary

Most little girls think it's a Barbie car 45 miles per hour wouldn't dare take it any faster
than that one of the most exciting cars ever made gangsters even liked this car. It was a
good wheel spinning car. I always tell everybody it takes 20 years Alfred you just to see
it in the driver's seat.
Henry Ford was a boy on the farm on the farm life didn't really appeal to him what he did
see though on the farm changed his life and that was a steam (1) Tractive engine. He left
the farm much to the dismay of his family and worked in various mills machine
companies. He was very much enthralled with this idea of a (2) Gasoline engine and
tinkered at home with various pieces of pipe and various objects he created a gas-
powered (3) Engine from then Henry went to build his first automobile. He built this in a
rented (4) Garage on Bagley Avenue in Detroit and called this automobile a quadrics
cycle people were very hesitant because they felt the Horsham Dougie was here to stay
through various backers. He came up with the means of building his first race car which
was 999 he finished that in 1901 and it raced a straight race and averaged top (5) Speed
of about 96 miles an hour which at the time was a record-breaking speed for any type of
American race car Ford had built several (6) Automobile going through the alphabet
from Model A to model house some which were very successful so much were not the
1908 Ford by that time had moved from the Mac Avenue plant to a plane in Detroit
called Paquette on the third floor Paquette there was a room and in that room 24 hours a
day for three months he kept us chief (7) Designer in three months down the (8) Road
the door opened to that room and the product was the Model T Ford for the first probably
the only times in his life made an understatement and said I think this will be one of the
most successful cars around well in the history of Motoring it was the first car that was
cheap enough to be bought by everybody so it literally put America on (9) Whell that put
a lot of other countries on wheels a lot of things could change because people could get
places faster this is a 1912 (10) Model T touring car it's called a brass Model T because it
has a brass radiator and it's a touring car it's not a closed car it was one of the cheaper
models that was produced a very simple car very rugged car demand for cars still
exceeded supply so that's when Ford shut down for a while and developed a moving
assembly line where a worker would stay in one position and do nothing but screw on
one bolt and the cars would was by him production in the year 1914 exceeded production
for the four previous years.
4. Tesla Motors - The Future of Electric Cars - National Geographic Documentary

Held his unprecedented Tesla car in a futuristic new factory and trigger an electric

(2) Electricity designed to have speed and range. I'm not a drop of gas our goal is to
create an electric car that is the best car in the world and show that that's what electric car
can be Tesla's goal is to kill off the (3) Combustion engine and prove the electric car as
finally come a mage driving gasoline car is gonna feel like yesterday driving this car is
driving the future this is Elon Musk Tesla's co-founder and CEO Elon is an (4) Inventer
and a maverick entrepreneur one of America's youngest billionaires I like exploring I like
(5) Technology I like creating things that have never been seen before or even imagined

thought from 20 years ago Tesla Motors is Elon sustainable energy brainchild named
after electric (6) Power pioneer Nikola Tesla it's a car company that only makes totally
electric vehicles no (7) Hybrid and no (8) Alternative fuels absolutely no tailpipe the

comes from a coal power plant it's technology Elon and co-founder JB Straubel believe
we need we're solving problems for our children our grandchildren (9) Oil is a finite
resource and eventually we have to find alternatives when you take an oil out of the (10)
