Karl (or Carl) Friedrich Benz, who was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, on November 25, 1844, and died in Ladenburg, Germany, on April 4, 1929, is widely recognized as the creator of the gasoline-powered vehicle. The French form of his name, Carl, is also commonly used. Though Benz was the first to patent his work and subsequently all the methods that made the internal combustion engine practical for use in vehicles, other German contemporaries, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, also worked independently on the same sort of technology. For his first engine, which he designed in 1878, Benz was given a patent in 1879.
The first commercial vehicle was built by Benz in 1885, called the Motorwagen. The gasoline engine, which had four strokes and was designed by him, drove it. On January 29, 1886, he received a patent for his vehicle. The vehicle, which some now refer to as the Tri-Car, featured three wheels: the front wheel, which was used to steer, and the two back wheels, which supported the engine and the passengers.
He created a number of inventions, including the water radiator, carburetor, spark plug, clutch, gear shift, ignition system employing battery sparks, and speed regulating device commonly known as an accelerator.

Epics of Enterprise

In 1986, British writer Robert Lacey, author of biographies of Sir Walter Raleigh, Henry VIII, Princess Diana, and Grace Kelly, published what was perhaps his most ambitious work: Ford: The Men and the Machine, a history of the family-controlled Ford Motor Company. In the final pages, Lacey describes how, in the fall of 1984, he sat in the office of Henry Ford II (CEO since 1960 and grandson of the founder) and watched him methodically feed documents into a paper shredder. Lacey noted that these documents had “to do with history, the letters and reports and memoranda which [made] up the record of his years in the company.” Pressed by Lacey to explain why he was so intent on destroying history, Ford responded, “What I’ve done in my life is nobody’s business.”
That view was consistent with the sentiment once expressed by his grandfather: “History is bunk!” It also underlines the problems that writers of corporate history encounter. Business leaders are notoriously uninterested in reflecting on the past. Neither are they likely to be tolerant of a “warts and all” biography of their company. And this tunnel vision is reflected in the curricula
