Cambridge Assembly

The Cambridge Assembly was a Ford Motor Company factory in Cambridge, Massachusetts which opened in 1913. The factory had the first vertically-integrated assembly line in the world.[1] It was replaced in 1926 by the Somerville Assembly.[2] The plant was later reused by Polaroid Corporation, and is now owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
