.         Everyone knows but for
          Lee Iacocca Ford would
          still be painting all of the
          cars black. What people
          are not aware of is that
          Henry had a fixation with
          rack n pinion and the old
          fashioned horse and dray
          leaf suspension system.
          Model T engineering was
          a cart without a horse.
          While other manufacturers
          were painting their vehicles
          different colours, they were
          all endeavoring to design a
          support system that did not
          creak, shock absorber was
          coined and instead of metal
          to metal, rubber bushings
          became fashionable, it even
          became hydrolastic and coil
          or oil filled like the Citroen.
          The French are putting tyres
          on their Metro Train wheels
          and horses have rubber shoes.
          But this poem is not about
          automobiles or Henry Ford.

          It is about Rachael Carson.
