When did automobiles become 'commonly available'?

I was pondering this today when driving in the snow in Pennsylvania, noting abandoned railroad beds, etc.
First, I do not have a definition of 'commonly available'. If someone can pinpoint exactly what I mean, that would be great!
I guess what I mean is that when did automobile travel become commonplace? I would have thought by the '40's, certainly yes! I have the owner's manual to my 1917 Maxwell, which details how to proceed around horses, so it leads one to believe that horses were maybe more commonplace than cars then. But, then again, I believe 80,000 Maxwells alone were produced in 1917. I do know that the last passenger train in my hometown in Connecticut passed through in 1927 or 1928. It leads me to believe that automobile travel may have been so commonplace by then that it displaced the train. Although, this would have been earlier than I should have thought.

Senior Member eh !
commonly available and Henry Ford go hand in hand !
Yes, makes sense...So we are talking about 1908 or so???

I am not an expert on this, but the fall of 1908 was the first of Model T production. Additionally, the Sears Motor Buggy was available in 1908 and was included in Sears catalogs. There were earlier automobiles than both the Model T and the Sears Motor Buggy, so it all depends on exactly what "commonly available" means. That said, 1908 would have been the BEGINNING of commonly available as I see it.
from 1908 until 1927 Henry Ford built 15 million cars ! That should qualify for common don't you think ?

I don't know if I can help you define "commonplace", but here's an interesting table (about halfway down the page) that shows number of automobiles in the US vs. US population for 1925-1995. In 1925 there was roughly one auto for every seven people in the US (actually, every 6 2/3). That ratio has steadily decreased to about one auto for every two people by the early 1970s, and surprisingly has held about constant since then.
Of course, the US population has grown from about 210 million in the early 1970s to over 310 million now, so the total number of cars has increased, but the ratio has held at about one car for every two people.
I should probably note that if you subtract out all the cars I own (most of which are not registered, of course), the ratio probably goes up significantly.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I wonder if any pre-1925 data is out there?

I suggest that geography also comes into play. Cars were not common in the Western US until much later.

My 1931 Chilton's Multi-Guide has a table on page 142 with vehicle production from 1913 through 1930:
1913 -> 461,500
1916 -> 1,525,578
This is production per year, not number of vehicles on the road which depends on life span of the vehicle. Also the US exported automobiles back then so some of that production was probably not sold domestically.
My guess is the answer to your question is that private automobiles became common place in the mid-1920s.
If you mean common, everyday use I would put it in the period 1915 - 1925. Before 1915 you were unusual if you owned an auto, after 1925 it was unusual if you didn't.
I base this on a couple of things. One is the rise of the Model T, which at one time ounumbered all other makes combined. The other is changing styles in cars.
Before 1915 most cars featured brass lamps and fittings and colorful paint jobs. They were a luxury and they looked it. You needed a full time chauffeur or you needed to hire someone to polish all the brass and keep the car in good condition.
Starting in 1915 or so this changed. Brass disappeared. Cars were finished in plain black or dark colored enamel with a few nickel plated pieces. This made them much easier to keep clean. Even expensive cars became plain looking. This was the style but it was also a matter of practicality for cars that were used every day.
In the late twenties new types of paint and chromium plating made cars more colorful and attractive, but still easy to keep up.
The point is, previous to 1915 convenience was a secondary consideration when buying a car, after 1915 it was mandatory because a car buyer expected to use his car every day with minimal upkeep.
This is backed up by contemporary reports. At a certain point a car ceased to be a novelty and became an everyday thing. There is no hard and fast date but it must have been around 1915 more or less.

This may seem a little random, just some thoughts on the subject.
H L Mencken reported on the Cuban revolution of 1917. In his narrative he mentions certain events that happened in the country, but remarks that it was no problem to get to them because there were plenty of Fords in Havana, even then. In other words it was a simple matter to hire a Model T and driver and go anywhere you wanted.
In another story by an English visitor to Canada in the mid twenties he was struck by the severity of the winter weather in Halifax and Quebec. He describes the natives as being dressed like Arctic explorers and Russian soldiers. He also remarks on the battered looking Ford, Dodge and Essex cars on their spindly wooden wheels, still giving good service though they had obviously met life in the raw.
Similar accounts could be multiplied endlessly. You should look up the film Oil Field Dodge on Youtube, it has been linked here more than once and gives an idea of what cars of the late teens and twenties were capable of.
One last example. There was a story by a botanist who drove an Oldsmobile touring car from California to New York in the early twenties. When he arrived he gave a writeup on the trip to the local newspaper, for which they thanked him politely. He watched the paper for the next 2 or 3 weeks but it was never published. He concluded that by that time, cross country auto trips were so common they were no longer newsworth.
I can also tell you that horses and cars shared the roads until the thirties or forties with cars becoming more common all the time. In rural areas many farmers used horses or mules until the forties or later. I had an uncle who farmed with horses until 1970 and never owned a tractor or a truck, although he did own a car. He learned to farm with horses in the early 1900s and never saw a reason to change.
Short line and narrow gauge railways were replaced by trucks and cars in the twenties. Before cars came in, you would take a horse and buggy or cab to the nearest railway station and make your journey by train. As cars became more reliable and more comfortable, with sedan bodies and heaters, people used trains less and less. By the fifties and sixties passenger trains were replaced by cars for shorter journeys, airplanes for longer ones.
These changes did not happen overnight. They came in gradually. But cars were certainly an everyday part of the American landscape before 1920.
I could show you cartoons and stories denouncing the auto as the plaything of the rich but all dated before 1915. When the farmers started buying Model Ts, all of a sudden the car ceased to be a luxury.

"Commonly available"...? For me it was when I was 25.
Seriously I think a better measure would be (if the information is available) a chart or graph of the number of car dealerships in the United States over time. There are about 3300 counties in the U.S. At the point where there were (IMHO) about 10,000 new car dealerships in the U.S., given some accounting for the concentration of dealerships in more populated areas like New York, there was probably a dealership of one sort or other (mainly Ford) with a day's reasonable travel of most American homes. At that point I think the phrase "commonly available" is pretty well satisfied.
Does anybody have that info? I haven't been able to find it on the internet.
I think this would be very variable information, in that it would be quite dependent on volume and the general economy. For example, during the recent Depression (yes, I said Depression -- I graduated from college in 1992, and it has been, since then, mostly a Recession, with an absolute depression in the late 2000's, and now, with a bit of an upturn, we are in the Recession that has basically characterized the American economy since the offshoring of jobs in the 1980's and exacerbated by Slick Willy's North American Free Trade Agreement (even though Slick Willy was a fairly good president otherwise) -- but politicians never mention the 'D' word) ...yes, since the recent Depression, a lot of car dealerships closed up due to decreased sales (at least on the east coast), but it was not due to a lesser number of cars on the road, but rather, due to folks driving cars longer due to less available funds to spend on cars. Oddly, despite a lot of dealerships closing, a new car dealership is under construction nearby, likely due to a perceived uptick in the economy. Probably not to increase the number of cars on the road, but rather to provide inventory to replace wrecks on the road that would have been replaced far earlier in a more favourable economy. Also, the young are driving less. When I was 16, I couldn't wait to get my license -- same with all my classmates. Now, I see lots of teenagers and folks in their 20's who do not have a license and have no real desire to do so. Lack of good jobs and the transportation necessary to get these jobs is a reason, but also, the increase of social media is a cause. Texting and the internet (e.g., Facebook) have replaced day to day interactions these days.
I think this would be very variable information, in that it would be quite dependent on volume and the general economy.
It would also be very dependent on population. What you care about is the number of dealerships per capita, or something like that. And even that is not very helpful, as the number of cars sold per dealership varies greatly. That's why I think the only number that matters is per capita car registrations. Not dealerships, not annual production, etc, etc.

Nobody has addressed the foreign connection here. I can't lay my hands on the stats, but I've seen someplace that by 1900, there were over a thousand cars in Paris France alone. Geography obviously is a key factor as automobiles were not so common in the more rural farming communities until much later. It had a lot to do with the lack of roads of course. I would agree with the historians that argue the USA was well behind Europe in development of the automobile. I'd go further to suggest that in areas like Paris and London, the automobile was commonplace at a much earlier age than 1908. Heck, the famous original Emancipation Run (London to Brighton) occurred a lot earlier than that. Repeal of the famous "red-flag act" was a result of the mass popularity of early autos.
In my collection of collections, I've got a 1905 program from the Boston Motor Show. It contains a list of registered vehicles in the state of Mass and lists 3269 licensed owners. It also lists 109 manufacturers and dealers.
Still, it really does depend on how you define "common." In this country it does seem like 1908 would be a watershed date and the Model T would be the car.
Edited January 5, 2014 by Terry Bond (see edit history)
Some time in the mid to late twenties there were enough cars registered in the US that everyone in the country could go for a ride at once. In other words, one car for every 4 or 5 people. One commentator said he could well believe it, and the traffic on Sundays proved it.
Well, based on the table that I linked to above, the first time there was on car to every five people in the US was 1937.
With a little crowding I suppose you could carry 6 or 7 people in one car.
The point is, even one vehicle for every 7 people in the country means they were in common use. I would still put the turning point at 1915 or thereabouts. It is impossible to name an exact date that applies to everyone everywhere, but by 1915 cars were in common use in most parts of the country.
Should have turned the page before posting earlier on this thread. On page 146 of that same 1931 Chilton's Multi-Guide is a table that contains total registrations by year:
1923 -> 15,092,177
I'm still putting my money on mid-1920s though given that the total registrations doubled between 1919 and 1923 it could have been early 1920s.
It is amazing there isn't more early stuff out there, just with the sheer numbers of cars that existed this early.
My guess is that the need for steel in WWII and the lack of appreciation for this stuff for a few decades surrounding WWII led to the scrapping of a lot of the earlier vehicles.
Anyone want to guess how many pre-1900, 1900-1910, 1910-1920, and maybe 1920-1930 vehicles still exist today? Any way of knowing?
For starters, I have a 1917 Maxwell Model 25 Touring car that is one of about 25 1917 Maxwells listed in a master list of Maxwells. The gentleman who has been compiling this list has bee doing it for well over two decades, maybe far longer. I would guess that for every one listed, there may be 3 to 5 others out there not listed. So about 100 of these out of an original 80,000 produced in 1917.
that is exactly what it is ( wild ass guess ) because there is absolutely no way of knowing. This is not a science !

I agree with this.
By 1915 Henry was turning out Model T's like popcorn and plenty of other manufacturers were working their butts off trying to compete.
I saw another chart at another site with numbers of licensed vehicles in the U.S. and it's unbelievable how many registered cars were on the roads even in 1902....... :eek:
I'll be darned.......I actually found the site with the figures! >>> http://local.aaca.org/bntc/mileposts/1902.htm
There's a lot of other neat tidbits other than just numbers........

Hupmobile introduced their first car in the fall of 1908 as the Model 20 with the 20 horsepower engine.
In the fall of 1910 they added the Model 32 having a more powerful 32 horsepower motor, and a second seat.
In November 1910, 3 men started a around the world sales promotion tour in a Model 32 with no top, windshield, or front doors.
It is interesting that the Hupp Motor Co, in 1910, was seeking to expand their overseas market by driving the car 46,000 miles in 14 months.
This car residences in the Crawford Museum in Cleveland in HPOF condition.
The Hupmobile Club currently has members with cars from 1909 through 1914 in the following countries.
Italy, Switzerland, France, Canada, Scotland, England, Australia, Denmark, and South Africa.
My grandfather's photo was taken in San Francisco or Los Angles in a 1907 or 1908 White Steam Car.
He was in both places between 1908 & 1909.
With CAHARTLEY's post above listing cars and American companies looking to expand.
I believe cars were definably "commonly available" early in the teens.
Early in the history of cars, companies could purchase all the parts required and just assemble the car.
Again, the problem is the definition of "commonly available". For example, one could argue that "commonly available" means that the purchase price of a new car is XX% of the average annual household income (or perhaps the median income). Another definition might have something to do with the ease of purchase, such as per capita number of dealerships (as was suggested above). And of course we've talked about both annual production vs. population and annual registrations.

Yep. I would guess that the middle, to upper middle class folks could commonly afford to buy a new motor car by 1915. I would think it took another 10 years for used cars to become commonly and cheaply available. A lot of old timers told me back in the late 20's and 30's it was easy to put a Model T together just by going to the local town dump and picking parts of what was discarded. Without a lot of trouble you could come up with enough to have wheels to drive with some mechanical ability. They always told me the hardest thing to get was good tires. Dandy Dave!
Another old timer told me the same. He had a stripped down Model T in the early twenties, when he was in his teens. Tires were expensive. He used to grab old tires off the junk pile behind the garage. They were old, dried out and hard. So he soaked them in a pond for a few days until they softened up then stretched them onto his rims and packed them with hay or rags. He could drive around on them but if he went too fast they would fly right off the rims.
When he saved up some money he got some good tires. Then he hopped up the motor. He used a 1908 head which was higher compression than later models. Got a Bosch magneto off a 1912 Cadillac and bolted it to the frame, then drove it with a bicycle chain. Got a Rayfield carburetor cheap and fixed the broken idle jet. Of course the muffler was the first thing to go.
When he got done it would go 70 miles an hour or so he claimed.
So, by the early twenties old cars were so common a farm boy could piece together a hot rod for a few bucks.
The old guys told me that if you had the Money, you could buy new tires from Montgomery Ward, or Sears and Roebuck, and they would come to your door. Had to sell some hogs, or chickens and eggs to get enough money. Dandy Dave!
Ha ha ha my buddy hoed corn all summer for 10 cents an hour and saved up $20 to buy a brand new bicycle. That was his first set of wheels. This was in the mid teens. In other words about 100 years ago.
Later he bought an Indian motocycle that did not run, fixed it up and got it running, and traded it for a second hand Ford . That was the hot rod. Right after that he went to work as a mechanic for a motorcycle dealer. There were plenty of cars, bicycles and motorcycles around in the city and in the country. This was in the early twenties.
Goes to show how times have really changed. around 1900, 90 percent of the population was somehow involved in some form of agriculture. Today, it is around 1.5 percent or less so I've been told. New car models came out in August. Just in time for harvest checks to arrive. Dandy Dave!

That was my point exactly. By mentioning the number dealerships as a measure of how far one would be from one, I was defining 'commonly available" as in available for purchase. not available for an evening's cruise. I would argue that cars became "commonly available" long before they became "common", the same way personal computers and flat screen tvs did. If you lived in Greenwich Village or Hell's Kitchen in 1905 and had $1000 to spend, a car was certainly "commonly available" to you. In say 1915, many people may not have owned a car or even knew someone who did, but if they had that $1000.00 to spend on a Thursday they could buy a car. And they probably wouldn't have to travel very far to do it, even in some quite rural areas. By 1920 (I'm guessing) doubt there wasn't a home in the U.S. within a day's ride by horse of a car dealership of some kind.
If you can get something in a day if you have the money, I'd call it "commonly available".
Floyd Clymer was in the auto and motorcycle business all his life. He started as a car dealer in his home town of Berthoud Colorado at the age of 11, in 1906. In those days if you bought a car they threw in the dealership and his father, a doctor, bought one of the first cars in town.
If they had a car dealership in Berthoud Colorado I think you could call that commonly available.


RECORD BREAKER: IMTS 2018 LARGEST SHOW EVER
Source: IMTS
09/19/18, 05:42 AM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | IMTS, Tradeshows and Conferences
A rapidly transforming industry sparked IMTS 2018 – The International Manufacturing Technology Show, to set all-time records for show metrics. The 32nd edition of the show drew a record registration of 129,415 people and featured 1,424,232 sq. ft. of exhibit space representing 2,123 booths and 2,563 exhibiting companies. IMTS 2018 ran from Sept. 10 – 15 at Chicago's McCormick Place. Previous records were 121,764 registrants (IMTS 1998), 1,415,848 sq. ft. of exhibit space (IMTS 2000), 1,808 booths (IMTS 2016) and 2,407 exhibiting companies (IMTS 2016).
AMT President Douglas K. Woods and Deutsche Messe CEO Dr. Jochen Koeckler opened IMTS 2018. The strong partnership between AMT and HANNOVER MESSE USA helped drive record results at IMTS 2018, including 1,424,232 sq. ft. of exhibit space.
"Connectivity, the digital transformation of manufacturing, automation, additive manufacturing and a strong economy drove record numbers at IMTS 2018," says Peter R. Eelman, Vice President – Exhibitions & Business Development at AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which owns and produces IMTS. "Digitization collided with a robust manufacturing industry to create our most dynamic show ever."
Historically, years between IMTS lead to incremental machine improvements, which are now reaching physical limits. "The velocity of change has become different," observes Tim Shinbara – AMT Vice President – Manufacturing Technology. "Analog technology yields linear improvements. Digital technology creates exponential growth and transforms how manufacturers and job shops operate."
An Expansive Show
Notable growth areas at IMTS 2018 included an expanded Additive Manufacturing Pavilion that featured 51 exhibitors and covered 31,550 sq. ft., the strong partnership with HANNOVER MESSE USA and its four co-located shows and 510 exhibitors, an expanded Smartforce Student Summit that drew 6,000 more visitors than in 2016.
"IMTS witnessed an unprecedented degree of collaboration among exhibitors to develop additive manufacturing, automation and connected systems," says Eelman. As an example, he points to the venture between 3D Systems and GF Machining, with their DMP Factory 500 metal 3D printing system unveiled to the public on the first day of the show.
Scott Harms, founder and President of MetalQuest Unlimited, has attended IMTS since 1996. After three days at this show, he was working on quotes for a load/unload robot, a shop floor CMM with an automation package, scheduling software and smart factory technology. He is also looking at cobots.
"There are so many ways of adapting automation that can make our operation more efficient, and they're all here at IMTS 2018," says Harms, who brought 11 people to the show. "We spent more time at the show this year, and it's still not enough. Technology is at an all-time high."
Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner addressed the IMTS audience on Sept. 12, stating that "There are four reasons that manufacturers from around the world are coming to the state of Illinois to build great products….people, transportation, innovation and energy. We're driving great manufacturing growth in this state." He noted that Illinois is the 17th largest manufacturing economy in the world, generates 600,000 manufacturing jobs, produces $100 billion dollars in manufactured products and creates the "most exciting and dynamic part of prosperity for everyone."
Governor Rauner toured IMTS and rode Olli, a self-driving, digitally manufactured, 3D-printed, electric shuttle by Local Motors designed to streamline shared transportation systems around the world.
"The machines that you see at IMTS 2018 are moving at the speed of digital technology. They're able to take files and make something that you've imagined," says LM Industries CEO and co-founder John B. Rogers, Jr." The tagline of IMTS 2018 says it the best, 'Where dreamers and doers connect.' That was the reason why we started a vehicle manufacturing company like Local Motors where we would be able to think it, print it and deploy it." Olli gave more than 1,400 rides at IMTS 2018.
At the national government level, the Department of Defense Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) held advanced manufacturing meetings and workshops at IMTS 2018 in order to continue the dialogue of ensuring U.S. industrial strength and readiness regarding technology, workforce, and furthering public-private collaborations. The IBAS team engaged more than 26 companies, with more than a dozen participating in the follow-on workshop.
Co-Located Shows
The HANNOVER MESSE USA co-located show hosted 510 exhibitors from around the world. At the center of HANNOVER MESSE USA was the Solutions Theater, which hosted more than 60 learning sessions that dove deeply into important topics such as IIoT, intelligent manufacturing and next-generation technology.
Dell Technologies, Microsoft and SAP joined other innovators in a new Digital Factory exhibition that showcased breakthrough products and solutions focused on integrated processes and IT solutions for plant operations. The show has increased its exhibition space by 26 percent over IMTS 2016 and by more than 440 percent since its first appearance eight years ago.
"We want all visitors to be more competitive in this global world. People need to connect and collaborate," says Dr. Jochen Koeckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG, HANNOVER MESSE's parent organization.
AMT President Douglas K. Woods adds that, "HANNOVER MESSE USA and IMTS bridge the gap between Silicon Valley technology and main street manufacturing. People find technologies here that change the spaces we work in."
Two AMT's Emerging Technology Centers
With digital technology, the pace of change makes it difficult to fully grasp the possibilities. IMTS 2018 directly addressed that issue with AMT's Emerging Technology Center (ETC) on digital transformation, which featured demonstrations of how new science impacts manufacturing.
Cisco, an IT hardware company, exhibited at IMTS for the first time, bringing its expertise in the industrial security of data and connectivity to the ETC. Visitors learned about best practices to secure their plant floor and intellectual property. Security is now a top concern, and manufacturing facilities need to manage modern security with legacy operating systems.
IMTS 2018 will be noted as the year of digital transformation, as exemplified by an automated cell linking a Hurco CNC, a Universal Robot arm and Hexagon CMM using the MTConnect™ standard.
"MTConnect is the building block that enables intelligent systems and decision-making based on data rather than instinct," says Eelman. "Instead of asking 'What's a connected system?', visitors now say to exhibitors, 'Your systems use MTConnect, right?'"
Paul Gray, Hurco's R&D Manager, notes that the only required connection between machines is an Ethernet cable. "Simple connectivity and software communication overcomes a major hurdle for job shops that focus on high-mix, low-volume and even custom parts," he says.
Additive Advances
"Additive manufacturing is one of the most revolutionary technologies ever brought to IMTS, and that's reflected in the ETC focusing on additive manufacturing," says Eelman.
To show its speed and versatility, Oak Ridge National Laboratory created a "die-in a-day" demonstration that featured four stages of development: printing the die at Lincoln Electric, machining the printed die at Mazak, molding a part from the die at IACMI and 3D laser scanning the part at Quality Vision International.
"Traditionally it takes a minimum of six weeks to make molds, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars," said Lonnie Love, Group Leader of Automation Robotics and Manufacturing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. "We demonstrated every day of the show the ability to go from digital to actual production in less than 10 hours. This technology has practical uses that manufacturers can utilize now."
This ETC also featured a "Knowledge Bar" hosted by America Makes where visitors learned about the development of education roadmaps, an online platform for members to exchange information and establishment of industry-wide additive manufacturing (AM) standards and specifications.
Additive Presence Grows Exponentially
Multiple companies chose IMTS 2018 as their venue to debut high-volume AM systems, including HP and EOS. Stephen Nigro, President of 3D Printing, introduced the HP Metal Jet printer. Designed for high volume production, the HP Metal Jet has 50 times more productivity than any other binder jet or laser. EOS launched the M 300-4 system, a multi laser metal 3D printing system designed for digital industrial additive manufacturing.
Perhaps more than any other technology at IMTS, AM represents the opportunity for small and start-up companies, from the U.S. and abroad, to gain exposure to a large audience and grow their dreams.
Austin Kron, Business Development Manager for first-time exhibitor BeAM Machines Inc., Strasbourg, France, believes AM will continue to generate company creation and growth as it becomes more industrialized, meeting production levels required by manufacturing. He cites one customer with certified aerospace repair job that has more than three thousand parts in flight.
"Every building in McCormick Place featured AM technology," says Eelman. "Four years ago when we produced the Strati vehicle on the show floor, large-scale AM was a novelty. At IMTS 2018, AM technology was part of the manufacturing processes used to produce the entrance hall impact units."
ATHENA, the industry's first voice-operated assistant, debuted at IMTS in the Makino and OKK booths, as well as in AMT's ETC where visitors could control a 5-axis DMG Mori CNC.
"With 5-axis milling technology becoming more prevalent, operators need to know more to be highly productive," says Dan Bagley, VP Marketing & Sales at iTSpeeX. "People don't operate machines. People produce parts in a cell, and the machine is an actor in that cell. ATHENA provides intelligent assistance to machinists to allow them to operate multiple types of controls."
Index previewed its iXworld, an online portal with four distinct service areas under a single interface. FANUC's FIELD system, an open platform that collects machine data in real time, was connected to more than 300 machines from 144 companies at the show. SAP focused on how to use blockchain to improve trust and transparency from source to consumption. After meeting at the previous show, Infor and FORCAM collaborated to create a bi-direction interface between FORCAM'S plant floor information-gathering solution and Infor's back-end ERP solution. Fraunhofer demonstrated the first 5G network in the world, which can record data at frequencies 10 to 100 times faster than LTE.
"Not automating is our biggest competitor," notes Robby Komljenovic, CEO and Chairman of Acieta. He says that automating is easier than companies think, adding that, "You need to exploit technology" to remain competitive.
Smartforce Student Summit
The IMTS 2018 Smartforce Student Summit broke its previous record with 23,000 registrants, 6,000 more than IMTS 2016 event.
"The national conversation around STEM education has had a positive influence on our ability to attract more schools to the Student Summit," said Greg Jones Vice President of Smartforce Development for AMT.
The 2018 Student Summit gave students the opportunity to experience 25 different job functions available in manufacturing (view career pathways at amtonline.org).
"Students engage with the people who are in those manufacturing jobs right now, as well as see the technology and equipment they would use on the job. Technology is making manufacturing careers cool again," says Jones.
High school junior Kaitlyn Ludlam addressed the Student Summit as one of Top 24 Under 24 Leaders and Innovators in STEAM and Space, an annual awards program presented by The Mars Generation®.
"I've been doing a lot more with STEAM, reaching out to other kids who are being told they can't do things, especially young women" says Ludlam. "I want to help them understand that they can do these things and not to listen to people who discourage them."
The Miles for Manufacturing 5K fun run and fundraising event on Wednesday, Sept. 12, drew a record 486 runners.

In total, more than 2,500 visitors attended conference sessions during the week of IMTS. The largest event, in terms of both content and visitors, was The IMTS Conference.
Presented by AMT and managed by GIE Media, The IMTS Conference attracted more than 850 people and featured 71 different sessions, each selected by a review board. Collectively, The IMTS Conference and the co-located events provided IMTS visitors with more than 142 hours of educational programming.
"The two most popular themes from the conference sessions were additive manufacturing and connected/digital manufacturing," says Bill Herman, Director, International Exhibitions and Sponsorship, AMT. Many conference attendees were looking for ways to begin their "digital journey" within their shops or how to implement next steps, as well as how they might harness additive manufacturing into their processes.
"The Additive Manufacturing Conference was a tremendous success and our largest event to date with more than 575 attendees," adds Travis Egan, Publisher, Additive Manufacturing magazine. "This included both current and future adopters of AM technology looking to deepen their knowledge base and learn more about the latest technologies in order to grow their manufacturing businesses."
Based on feedback from the job shop and contractor community, IMTS created a program to address the challenges they face to help diminish their daily struggles.
"Our new Job Shops program attracted 405 participants," Michelle Edmonson, Senior Director - Exhibitions Operations & Marketing, AMT. "With such strong interest at this show, we plan to continue our focus on jobs shop at IMTS 2020."
Presentations included a seminar on the unending search for qualified labor hosted by four job shop owners. "The part of the discussion on reaching out to high school-level and community college students was good. I hadn't thought about going to those sources to find kids interested in manufacturing," says Aaron Collier, General Manager of Liberty Bottleworks in Yakima, Washington.
EOS' "Applied AM – Where Additive Minds Meet" half-day symposium drew more than 300 people. In a sign of how far AM has progressed, topics included a session on AM digital supply chain readiness.
Seeking New Approaches
Visitors walked the floor of IMTS focusing on technologies, ideas, business practices and face-to-face conversations that advance manufacturing.
"What I get at the show is the ability to meet people," says Matt Guse, President of MRS Machining, who has attended IMTS since 1996. "You meet people just sitting around and talking. You share ideas, or they tell you what they've seen. Sometimes you think you've seen the whole show, and the next thing you know, someone tells you about something new in the next hall and you see how awesome it is. That's why I always say IMTS is the Super Bowl of manufacturing."
"We had very astute attendees coming to IMTS 2018," says Eelman. "They are more educated about the health of their business and know that connectivity, digitization, automation and knowledge are part of the solution.
"IMTS takes all this, puts it under one roof and fosters connections. By the time we reach IMTS 2020, what visitors learned this week will have already changed their operations. People will come to renew old friendships and uncover new possibilities that expand their horizons."

Andy Pettitte Is Delightful, Doomed
Pettitte at yesterday's press conference. Photo: Getty Images
Breaking news: Andy Pettitte is adorable. He's likable, he's sweet, he's honest, and he may just be the victim in all of this MLB performance-enhancing drug mess. Sure, he may have received injections of human growth hormone and been forced to throw his friend and mentor Roger Clemens under the bus, but isn't he a peach? That's the takeaway that many viewers and fans were left with after the Yankee pitcher's hour-long press conference yesterday, during which he answered questions about his own drug experiences but avoided directly contradicting Clemens's assertion that he "misremembered" a conversation about steroids with the older pitcher. (He did, however, pointedly say that trainer Brian McNamee, who claims to have injected Clemens and Pettitte, "told the truth about me.") New York's sports columnists, on the whole, were wildly impressed with Pettitte's humble, endearing performance — if not entirely sold on his emotional honesty.
• George Vecsey was impressed by Pettitte's reference to biblical lessons on conscience. "[It's] a word one does not hear on a daily basis, particularly in the big-time sports mill." [Times]
• Will Leitch thought the performance was similar to many other vaguely apologetic sports press conferences after past scandals. But he also thought Pettitte was being honest. "He's completely full of bullshit," Leitch wrote. "But we nevertheless agree with him, across the board." [Deadspin]
• Jon Heyman was sympathetic: "If anyone wronged anyone here, Clemens is the one who wronged Pettitte." [Sports Illustrated]
• So was Jayson Stark: "This was a real person, caught red-handed by the proper authorities, who then did what we wish more of these guys would do: Actually act like a real person. And talk like a real person. And paint a picture, for the world to see, of how an otherwise level-headed human being somehow got sucked into the depths of baseball's magic-syringe culture." [ESPN]
• John Harper, as well as many others, thinks that this spells the end for Clemens's spirited self-defense: "Obviously there is other evidence that makes Clemens look guilty," Harper wrote. "But in some ways this comes down to who is more believable, Pettitte or Clemens, and at the moment it's no contest." [NYDN]
• And Joel Sherman thinks that the worst is still ahead for Honest Andy. "It is obvious now that Hank Steinbrenner wanted Johan Santana — wanted him badly," Sherman says. "His brother, Hal, and Cashman did not want to give up the necessary prospects or money. Pettitte's early December revocation of his retirement plans provided the Hal/Cashman alliance the excuse to disembark from Santana talks. So Pettitte cannot go 9-12 with a 5.00 ERA now. That will unleash more than nasty cynicism that Pettitte could not excel without illegal drugs." [NYP]

It's just the second time Congress has found a sitting cabinet member in contempt
The House voted on Wednesday to ask the Justice Department to prosecute Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for defying congressional subpoenas, an escalation in House Democrats' ongoing oversight battle with the Trump administration.
The 230-198 vote to hold Barr and Ross in criminal contempt of Congress is largely symbolic, as President Donald Trump's DOJ will not act on the request.
It also represents only the second time in U.S. history that Congress held a sitting Cabinet official in contempt of Congress. In 2012, former Attorney General Eric Holder became the first after the Republican-led House voted to hold him in contempt for not providing documents on the Operation Fast and Furious gun running investigation.

Rand Paul picks some strange spots to pretend to care about spending
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Wednesday blocked an attempt by Democrats to pass an extension of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) tried to win the Senate's consent to approve the House-passed bill, which would reauthorize funding until fiscal year 2090. The bill cleared the House in a 402-12 vote last week.
But Paul objected, pointing to the country's growing debt and arguing that any new spending should be offset by cuts to other spending.

Rand Paul to the rescue
Over a round of golf this past weekend, Sen. Rand Paul asked President Donald Trump's blessing for a sensitive diplomatic mission.
Paul proposed sitting down with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to extend a fresh olive branch on the president's behalf, according to four U.S. officials. The aim: to reduce tensions between the two countries. Trump signed off on the idea.
With Zarif in New York City this week for U.N. meetings and private sitdowns with journalists and think-tank experts, the prospect of the dovish Kentucky senator serving as the administration's chief diplomatic emissary has rankled many administration officials, who are expressing concern that Paul's intervention threatens to scuttle the president's "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran.

This should be a spectacle
Rep. Al Green says the US House will vote between 4:30-5 p.m. ET today on his articles of impeachment for President Trump; it remains unclear if Democratic leadership will move to vote to table the resolution, vote to send to cmte. or vote to proceed with the resolution.
This explanation for a slow-and-steady approach is unlikely to satisfy liberals who want Dems to hurry up
House Democrats have kicked and screamed about the White House's refusal to allow key Trump officials to come before Congress. But they haven't done the one thing they can do to force the issue: Go to court.
Democrats have handed out procedural slaps on the wrist — from subpoenas to contempt citations — and all have been summarily blown off by a White House claiming "absolute immunity" from congressional testimony.
The seeming lack of results has fueled criticism among progressive lawmakers and activists. But there are real reasons for the go-slow approach: An overstretched team of House lawyers along with Democrats' fear of an adverse court ruling that could have long-lasting ramifications.
Trump's attacks on "the squad" aren't going over well with the American public
A clear majority of Americans say President Trump's tweets targeting four minority congresswomen were "un-American," according to a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll. But most Republicans say they agreed with his comments, an illustration of the nation's sharp partisan divide on issues of patriotism and race.
More than two-thirds of those aware of the controversy, 68%, called Trump's tweets offensive. Among Republicans alone, however, 57% said they agreed with tweets that told the congresswomen to go back to their "original" countries, and a third "strongly" agreed with them. All four lawmakers are American citizens; three were born in the United States.
That finding may help explain the reluctance of GOP leaders and most GOP members of Congress to castigate the president for tweets and comments in recent days targeting the congresswomen, outspoken progressives who are among his sharpest critics on Capitol Hill. Only four Republicans joined House Democrats Tuesday in passing a resolution condemning Trump's comments as "racist."
