Tracing the Trail of History: Bertha Benz's Daring Journey That Changed the Automotive World 🌍🚀📬
Bertha Benz and her husband, Karl Benz, were pioneers in creating the first car that used gasoline as fuel. Unfortunately, at first, many people doubted the functionality of this innovation, even considering it a ridiculous vehicle. Karl also experienced deep mental stress and fell into alcohol as an escape from his depression.
The Benz family lived in Mannheim with their five children. In the midst of difficult conditions, Bertha decided to visit her parents in Pforzheim, which was almost 100 kilometers to the south. To support her husband and ensure that her creation was not in vain, Bertha took a bold step and used the vehicle created by Karl to reach her destination.
The trip took almost an entire day, which was a reasonable time considering the vehicle technology in the late 19th century. During the trip, Bertha stopped several times at a pharmacy to fill up on fuel, which was sold there at that time. She also visited two tailors to fix the brakes, which led to the innovation of brake pads, and a blacksmith to fix the transmission chain.
When the fuel line became clogged, Bertha used a pin to fix it and insulated the wires with simple tools. After a rather challenging journey, Bertha sent a telegram to her husband to inform him of the success of the trip. The next day, Bertha began her journey back to Mannheim.
The journey attracted a lot of attention, as Bertha met many curious people. It was then that people began to realize that cars were not just strange toys, but practical and fast means of transportation. This revival made Karl famous quickly, and soon many people wanted to own replicas of his cars, resulting in many orders that helped his automotive business grow.
Bertha's journey also gave her the opportunity to test the vehicle from a user's perspective and identify improvements that were needed. She suggested adding gears to the transmission to increase speed so that it could cut travel time and be able to overtake carts, adding a fourth wheel for greater stability, improving the brakes, and installing a fuel filter. Thus was born a large automotive empire that is still recognized today.
Claim analysis:
1. Pioneering Efforts: Bertha Benz turned out to have an important role in testing and promoting the car created by her husband. This is a historic moment that emphasizes the importance of women's contributions to the history of technology.
