Summary

By the late 1920s, many logging companies had started using trucks to haul logs out of the forest and down to the sawmill. This photo was taken in the mid-1920s, somewhere in western Washington. A Kelly-Springfield truck hauls a load of fir logs along a logging road.

This photo was taken in the mid-1920s by Bellingham photographer J. Wilbur Sandison and copied a few years later by Webster & Stevens

The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.
