1980s

Origin era places a technology method in the period when it was actually first put into practice. Wikipedia notes "Olds patented the assembly line concept, which he put to work in his Olds Motor Vehicle Company factory in 1901," more than a decade before Ford's better-known version. Browsing by origin era shows how long a method has actually been in use before it became famous.
