Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Henry Ford pioneered the assembly line in manufacturing?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that Henry Ford pioneered the assembly line (or line production), with one noting he installed the first moving assembly line in 1913. A scholarly article counterbalances Ford's usual primacy by emphasizing all-steel body technology, but does not deny he pioneered the assembly line.
