My day- job is restoring and selling vintage motorcycles and bicycles. Someone once told me you never get rich if you buy and sell things you like because you get too attached to them. But there’s something more important than money . My initial rule was if it has an engine, however fabulous it might be, it’s for sale. By selling motorcycles for my business, I could justify keeping bicycles for my hobby (though I got a bit carried away collecting bicycles so now sell some of them too). There are always regrets. I’m sorry I had to sell this Smith Motorwheel. A. O Smith and the Motorwheel: Company History. Although A. O. Smith was founded in 1. Charles Jeremiah (C. J.)

A. O. Smith quit Federal in 1. Smith Parts Co. Smith Company in 1. The company’s sales totaled $3. Unfortunately, patriarch C. J. Smith also passed away in 1. In April 1. 90. 6, Henry Ford contracted with A. O. At the time, the company was producing only ten pressed steel frames a day. Ford needed 1. 0,0. Realizing that adding workers and space would only consume valuable time in training and construction, Smith looked for ways to increase efficiency through technological improvements. He and his team of engineers retooled existing presses to produce two corresponding halves of an auto frame simultaneously and arranged the presses to form a continuous assembly line. The delivery of 1. A. O. Smith frames that August helped Ford introduce his popularly priced Model N late in 1. Smith soon found itself turning away business, it built a new, larger headquarters on 1. Milwaukee to accommodate demand. By the end of the decade, A. O. Smith was manufacturing 1.
