Dine and Discover - Becoming the Motor City: A Timeline of Detroit’s Auto Industry - CS1301

Well over a century ago a cadre of self-trained mechanics, machinists, and other tradesmen started tinkering in the small, cramped machine shops near downtown Detroit. Despite their varied technical ideas, professional ambitions, and personal temperaments, they worked towards a common goal: to revolutionize personal transportation by capitalizing on the recently developed internal combustion engine. Today, Detroit continues to lead the world in charting the future of mobility. This presentation shares these and other highlights contained in Paul Vachon's book, which is a chronological timeline of the industry's Detroit story. Register by October 15th.
