22、pe T cars. He succeeded in making America a big car country.

His father, Will
23、iam, hoped that his eldest son would join him on the farm enable it to become larger, and at last, take it over. But Henry hated farm work and did everything he could to avoid it. It was not that he was lazy. Far from it. Give him a mechanical job to do and he would set to work eagerly. It was the d
24、aily life of the farm, with its repetitive tasks, that frustrated him. “What a waste it is,“ he wrote years later, remembering his work in the fields, “for a human being to spend hours and days behind a slowly moving team of horses.“ So Henry turned his attention elsewhere. When he was twelve, he be
25、came very interested in clocks and watches. Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends, working at a bench he built in his bedroom.

29、ife. At first in the kitchen, and later in a shed at the back of his house, he spent his spare time in the evenings trying to build an engine to his own design. Henry learned it was a slow, hard business to build an engine by hand. Every piece of every part had to be made separately, checked and rec
30、hecked, and tested. Every problem had to be worried over and solved by the builder. To ease the burden, Henry joined forces with another mechanic, Jim Bishop. Even so, it was two years before they had succeeded in building a working car. It was a simple one, fixed on bicycle wheels and driven by a r
