* He first built his Model A automobile in 1903, however this car was custom built and not mass-produced. His slogan was: “A car for everyone, as long as it comes in _________.” black

* The Model T ended up costing $290 ($3,289 today) at the height of its production.

Tech Question #9 9) The first really successful aircraft of any kind was the ____________ . a) hydrogen gas balloon b) oxygen gas balloon c) helium gas balloon d) hot-air balloon

Transportation Technology Question #9 * Believe it or not, the first aeronauts were not human beings, but included a rooster, a goat, and two chickens. The roosterbecame the first aeronaut to be injured in flight when upon landing the goat stepped on the rooster and broke its wing.

Transportation Technology Question #10 10) The first locomotive was developed by Richard Trevithick in England in the early 1800s and was powered by a(n) ____________ engine. a) gasoline b) electric c) steam d) oil

Transportation Technology Question #10 • By the way, the Trevithick managed only 13 mph when fully loaded.
