Research+Paper+Outline

This is what I plan to talk about in my paper.

Outline for Research Paper **I.** Introduction **A**. Background- **B**. From the tire, engine, safety features, and the fuel; the car has transformed from a slow, inefficient hunk of wood, into a lean, mean, street machine. **II. **Wheel **2.** The first wheel used for transportation was used for a chariot in the 3200 B.C. ** III **. Tires ( ** First subtopic ** ) **A**. The car needed something to move on. **1** The first wheels and tires were made of wood or metal but didn’t provide a comfortable ride. **2** One of the many problems with the early tire is that they couldn’t hold shape and it would become sticky in hot weather and then it would become hard and inflexible in the cold. **B.** Ways of making tires **1.** Vulcanization process. This process heated the rubber with sulfur; this turned the rubber into a firm pliable material which then made it the perfect material for a tire ** 2. ** Soon after this, all tires were made form solid rubber and the rubber was burnt with sulfur. ** IV **. Engine ( ** Second subtopic ** ) **A**. The first automobile to move under its own power was in 1769 and was designed by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot and constructed by M. Brezin. **1.** The engine of the steam vehicle and the boiler were separated from the rest of vehicle and put at the in front of the car **2.** The problem with this method of transportation was the steam engines add too much weight to become even remotely effective **B.** The other power source for making the automobile was the electric car **1.** The first person to be credited with the practical electric vehicle was Thomas Davenport from America. **2**. In 1908 Henry Ford started the mass production of gas powered vehicles which hurt the electric inventors ** V **. Mass Production **A**. For some odd reason many people think that Henry Ford invented the automobile. Henry ford didn’t invent the car or the assembly line. **1.** However he did improve the assembly which made the automobile more affordable for everyone **2** With Henry’s improvement of the assembly line he moved the build speed from twelve hours and eight minutes to one hour and thirty-three minutes; he built more than 15 million automobiles over an 18 year period. ** 3 ** By the time the last Ford Model t was built, the company was finishing an automobile every twenty-four seconds. ** VI **. Safety Features **A**. Seat belts have been around for more than a century. **1.**  The seat belts were used to keep people in their seat on road instead of being used to protect people from crashes. **2.**  The physicians warned people to put seat belts in their own cars, but manufactures didn’t start doing it until the 1950s **B.**  Volvo were the first to step to the plate to face safety features **1.**  The company tried many different types of configurations, and noticed that some of the belt types would damage peoples’ soft organs **2.** Bohlin was hired by the CEO and found that the top and the bottom part of a person had to be secured so then he created the 3 point or V shaped seat belt. ** VII. ** As you can see the automobile has made a drastic change. The automobile has gone from the steam, to electric, to gas, which is what we still use today.
 * A. ** The wheel was created ages ago and is still used today, that it self lets you know how important it is.
 * 1. ** The Mesopotamia people are believed to have created the first wheel.
