Chapter 91: Gift from the Kingdom of the Netherlands

November 23, 1901. This was an extraordinary day for Australia's industry.

Firstly, the Benz Motor Factory, under the joint efforts of Benz and Diesel, finally established the world's first automobile factory that utilized assembly line production techniques, after undergoing extensive renovations for half a year.

Although there were some differences compared to the more mature automobile assembly lines that would later be created by Ford, the achievements demonstrated by the modified factory were already remarkable in terms of saving labor costs and reducing production time.

Originally, it took at least ten skilled workers working overtime for over a week to produce a car that matched the performance of the Victoria.

Not to mention, the wages of these ten skilled workers for over a week alone would amount to at least thirty pounds.
