Detailed explanation-1: -In the 1920s, assembly line production and easy credit made it possible for ordinary Americans to purchase many new consumer goods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly lines, on the other hand, have workers (or machines) complete a specific task on the product as it continues along the production line rather than complete a series of tasks. This increases efficiency by maximizing the amount a worker could produce relative to the cost of labor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mechanization of American manufacturing accelerated in the 1920s, and this led to a much more rapid growth of productivity in manufacturing compared to earlier decades and to other sectors at that time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The innovation of the moving assembly line cut the number of workers required and reduced the time it took to assemble a car. It also gave the company more control over the pace.
