crocus. In case you're wondering why I say crocus, it's because it takes so many to get the tiniest amount of saffron. but I was tempted to say wheat. Maybe even corn because corn is in everything. This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 15:39

Yesterday's question kind of threw me for a loop. There were auto manufacturers that used assembly line processes before Ford and I knew Ransom Olds did. I took the term literally and thought maybe the answer was supposed to identify the person who thought up the process. No worries..... I know the Volkswagen was created in Germany and that Hitler was involved in the design. I'm probably wrong but sticking with my answer.

haha! matti5, we think alike. IF he had a father, I would guess accountant. LOL!

Not Ford? Ok, then Benz rather than add a post. Wow, I would never have guessed that person to be the first assembly line operations! This post was edited by rob333 on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 8:21
