Rolls- Royce The Rolls-Royce Motor cars partners came from very dissimilar scenarios. In 1877, Charles Stewart Rolls was born in an elite family of British and enjoyed a wealthy breeding in the highest level of society. At Trinity college, Cambridge he perused mechanical engineering and due to his innovative thinking and passion towards cars earned him the nicknames called Petrolls or Dirty Rolls. However, Frederick Henry Royce was born in 1863 in Peterborough. He shifted to London and started selling newspapers for WHSmith and sons. At the age of 14 years Royce worked under outstanding engineers at the Northern Railway in Peterborough and also he studied algebra, engineering and French to improve his education. Besides the dissimilarities in their situation though they form an unexpected collaboration that was formed on mutual interest in automotive and engineering. Surprisingly, their association continued for only six years, they formed a car acknowledged as the elite car in the world. When Rolls met Royce On 4 May 1904, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met for the first time in the Hotel Midland, Manchester. A shareholder of F.H Royce and company, Henry Edmunds and Claude Johnsn made the historic meeting. 10 Royce automotive were manufactured and Johnson noticed Rolls was getting frustrated just to sell foreign imports. A day when Rolls and Edmunds travelled to Manchester. On the journey to the Manchester Rolls said Edmunds that he need to manufacture a motor car along with his name on it. After seeing the 10 Royce, Rolls thought he finally got a car he was searching for. Despite their dissimilar scenarios Charles and Henry made a partnership and soon after driving a car Rolls decided to sell the cars under the name ... ... middle of paper ... ...nsidered as a best type of the particular product. However, Rolls-Royce icon itself represents a person status. The two most known features that form Roll-Royce a Rolls is The Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce radiator grille. The mascot on the top of car bonnet is a woman with her hand spread behind her known as the spirit of Ecstasy or flying lady. Earlier it was used as a radiator cap now it is used as a hood ornament. Charles Robinson Skyres designed the Spirit of Ecstasy and the mascot conveyed the spirit of Rolls-Royce, such as, speed with silence, absence of vibration, the strange utilize of great energy and a beautiful living organism of superb elegance. No Measuring instrument is used to make the radiator grille of Rolls- Royce. It is just made by hand and eye. Each man take a day to make grille and later 5 hours are spent to polish the radiator.
After the steam engine was created in the early 17th century, many people and companies tried to take that same technology and apply it to automobiles. Nobody was successful until a British inventor by the name of Richard Trevithick created a multi passenger automobile that ran on a power source that was driven by a steam-propelled piston at high pressure (Bellis). Up until the mid 1900’s cars were only produced by specifically skilled blacksmiths, and were very expensive. There were only about 4,000 cars produced from the 1890’s to mid 1900’s (Bellis).
The assembly line that Henry Ford built was probably the first automated assembly line. It was certainly Ford's first assembly line was one of the most sophisticated and successful examples ever. So Henry Ford wanted to build a car that everybody could afford not just the rich

Technology and the automotive industry go hand in hand with constant improvement to components of cars. Due to technology advancement there is competition within the car industry, especially between American car companies and European car companies. European car companies provide their buyers with innovative variety and revolutionary luxuries. European car technology is superior to American car technology due to their safety, entertainment, and luxury features.
Henry spent most of his time with his only friend, Edsel Ruddiman, when he wasn’t taking solitary walks. Henry began his first job in 1880 a little after turning 17 – working for the Michigan Car Company. Although it was a high paying job of $1.10 a day, he soon got fired for quickly solving a problem that embarrassed several employees. Henry’s next job was with the Flower Brothers getting paid $2.50 a week. Since that wasn’t enough, he took on a job at night for 50 cents a night. The Flower Brothers moved on to Detroit Dry Dock Engine Works building ships. Though the steam engine had already been developed, Henry had an interest with the combustion engine.
Henry Ford was born in Michigan and was the first of William and Mary Ford's six children. With his great imagination, he was fascinated by technology and spent lots of time inspecting watches and trinkets to see how things worked. (Auto 2). Henry began constructing things at a very young age since he did not have much interest in school. Ford learned at a young age the importance of money but since he was so young he failed to understand that staying in school and getting a degree would get you a good job and in turn get you money. Ford thought that if he did not attend school during the day he could work and make more money. Although this is different from what many people think when they hear one of the biggest and most largely known entrepreneurs but it is true. Ford dropped out of the school at the age of fifteen and began working at a relative’s farm. In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work as an apprentice machinist, although he did occasionally return to help on the farm. He remained an apprentice for three years and then returned to Dearborn. During the next few years, Henry divided his time between operating and repairing steam engines, finding occasional work in a Detroit factory, and over-hauling his father's farm implements, as well as lending a reluctant hand with other farm work. Upon his marriage to Clara Bry...
The first automobile production for the masses in the US was the three horsepower, curved-dash Oldsmobile which four hundred and twenty five of them were sold in 1901 and five thousand in 1904. This Oldsmobile is still a very popular car to most collectors today. From 1904 to 1908, two hundred and one automobile manufacturing firms went into business in the United States. One of the firms was the Ford Motor company which was organized in June 1903, and sold its first car on the following July ...
This advertisement has been created to promote the Volkswagen Golf Gt to an environmentally friendly audience. It achieves this by using the powerful juxtaposition of a peaceful image contrasting with a dark and violent scene. To further this contrast, the advertiser has placed the car directly in the center. This implies there are two very different personalities to the car. Effectively personifying the car.
Henry Ford originally intended the Model T to be the “farmer’s car.” But in order to make a car that was financially available to the common man, Ford needed an industrial revolution that would allow him to produce numerous automobiles at an inexpensive price. He succeeded in doing so by implementing his innovative assembly line and specialized labor for the production of the Ford Model T. By the 1920s, car manufacturing exploded due to Ford’s cheap and simplistic methods of production causing prices to drop significantly and allowing the Model T to fit within the average ...

Since the development of the steam engine people had been interested in creating self-powered vehicles, this manifested during the industrial revolution as the train. However, as time went on people became interested in creating a vehicle that wasn’t confined to tracks. The earliest attempts were moderately successful but served little practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and propelled the automobile into the heart of American culture and made it one of the most significant inventions of the post-industrial revolution era, resulting in a complete revolution of society.
Audi, one of Germany’s first automobile producers, has been designing and building cars since August Horch, its founder, completed his first car in 1901. Over the years following, a series of innovations and mergers have led Audi to the position it is in today. Audi’s subsidiaries include companies to facilitate international operations, part manufacturers, a vehicle customization company, a technology research company, and Lamborghini Corp, a successful sports car manufacturer. Audi’s current developments include its holding the EU Seal of Environmental Protection, and a number of technological advancements, including new car designs and a “seeing car” technology that has been nominated for the German Future award for Technology and Innovation.
My interest in the field of Automobile goes back to my early years in high school which is when I decided to pursue a career in engineering. As a child I was always fascinated by the very concept of automobile. Further, my father’s constant involvement in the automotive industry as an insurance claims assessor further enhanced my interests in automobiles. He was the one responsible for showing me the correct path to pursue my career in automobile field. Hence, after having completed my primary education, I decided to delve straight into the world of mechanics and engineering and pursued a diploma in mechanical engineering followed by a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Since there were very few options in India & there was no direct path to get into automobile field.
