My dad worked at that plant after the war making R4360 engines with 28 cylinders in 4 rows of 7. Ford built them under contract to Pratt-Whitney. He said they packed some hermetically and shipped them to Canada for secret storage in case all hell broke loose. He suspects there may still be some up there hidden in barns! Wouldn't THAT be a find? At the time, the factory, which had built tanks during the war, was the largest building, square foot wise, in the world.
