I do have a strange sense of humor (and probably really lack social grace as well)......today's question looks a little familiar to me. My first post was hasty, as it was the first thing that came to mind. Rob's response was better than mine though!!!

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.

Yup....agreeing with red and it was a no-brainer for me (former military). The stripes were set up as alternating colors (red/white) to represent the original 13 colonies. The flag has always been red/white/blue. I'd have to go back and look up flag history to confirm when the 13 stripes became the flag base but it's been around for at least 100 years....maybe early 1900s.

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
