The Chicago meat industry introduced assembly line prototypes. Then the idea was adopted at Ford. On December 1, 1913, at the Highland Park factory, the Model T began production entirely on the assembly line. The system allowed a car to be put together in just over an hour. An innovation that was not taken well by the workers: it was seen as an insult to the more qualified workforce and as yet another example of the overwhelming control that a modern company can exercise over its workers. It was, however, a revolution that changed the history of industry, not only…

When it was built, in 1851, the Crystal Palace in London was a true pride of Victorian civilization, a prodigy of iron architecture. Completed in a few months of work in Hyde Park – and inaugurated by the Queen herself. After hosting the Great exhibition of 1851, (it was the reason why it was built) it was dismantled and reassembled in a park a little outside the city, in Sydenham Hill, around which an elegant neighborhood arose. For decades it continued to host exhibitions, events and concerts (under its glass vaults, for example, the first exhibition on dinosaurs took place).…

However, his works continue to enjoy their usual success:…
