Ford wears a pair of radiophone headphones in this 1922 photograph, taken at a newspaper office in Atlanta, Georgia, with three other men around him. The industrialist, best known for the Model T and the assembly line, is shown in left profile, seated and absorbed in listening rather than posing for the camera. In 1922 commercial radio was still new, and listening through headphones was a common way for early enthusiasts to hear distant stations. The scene captures a moment when a major figure of American manufacturing was turning his attention to a technology that was just beginning to reach ordinary homes.
