About the author

Fay Leone Faurote was an American writer whose work is most often linked to books about industry and manufacturing. She is credited as co-author of Ford Methods and the Ford Shops (1915) with Horace Lucian Arnold, a substantial study of Ford Motor Company production methods that became an early management text.

She is also credited for My Philosophy of Industry (1929), presented as a series of authorized interviews with Henry Ford. Library and catalog records describe the book as an authorized interview by Fay Leone Faurote, which suggests she played an important role in shaping Ford's ideas into book form for a general audience.

Confirmed biographical details about her life are limited in the sources I found. The available records identify her as Fay Leone Faurote and indicate that she died in 1938, but I could not confirm further personal background with confidence, so it is best to remember her chiefly through the influential industrial and interview-based writing she left behind.
