Ford's Willow Run works kicked out one per hour at their peak! Can you imagine? Even then the amount of tech etc. to build a 4 engine bomber - amazing!!!

Any idea how long they ran at that peak? It would also be interesting to know how long it took to get unit#1 completed.

Those are the approximate weights for a three stage Trane chiller complete with vessels up to about 500 ton capacity.
The old compressor in the photo is ballpark 800-1000 tons of cooling. The 1st stage volute casing is about 5000 lbs, motor about 5000 lbs and the 2nd stage volute maybe 2500 lbs. Lots of fun picking that kind of weight up when the engineers and designers jam them into some little corner of a machine room!

This an overhaul video of a 3 stage Trane CVHE. These guys have lots of room to work and questionable taste in music!

I've never worked on one of those, but I rebuilt some Elliott pap plus air compressors and a few Joy centrifugals. Back in my yoot.
Similar.
I even went to skool in Jeannette Pa. once where Elliott learnt me all about their machines. That was in 2000 and 3 IIRC.

The internals of that trane blower remind me of the guts in a hoffman blower.

Serial vs. Parallel programming/production.
