I've said it before, it's amazing to me how sophisticated manufacturing technology was in the 30's. I see those great big castings, machined with huge cutting tools, and I just shake my head in awe at how smart some engineers were, and how big some people could dream.

Tractors, trains, airplane engines; these huge beasts built to high standards with relatively primitive techniques.

Thanks for sharing, Patrick Have fun out there...
