He is responsible for mass production of movie theaters on assembly lines, which allowed theater owners to drop the price of going to a movie to 10 cents so every working American could go.

Few people know this.

Here are Ford theater factory workers doing quality control on theater seats. Checking elbow room and kicking each seat in front of them no less than 10 times. Real-life testing. The seats are then moved down the line for the chewing gum adhesion testing.
