Tech of the past: Detroit News Heliplane

I remember when my dad took us up to Michigan to the Ford Museum back in the Mid 70''s. I still have several photos I took with my Kodac Instamatic camera when I was 17 years old! I'll have to dig those photos back up!

I have a few tidbits of information to add.
The Henry Ford is big enough to for a two day visit to really take everything in, plus Greenfield Village and you can easily fill a three day weekend.
The Dymaxion house was Buckminster Fuller concept/project.
He designed it as a affordable post war home.
Steam engine power for factories was very versatile in that it could turn one or more shafts that ran the entire length of the building, with belt driven equipemnt attached as needed. The wheel size and ratio on the shaft and the equipment, allowed for various speeds.

One of my favorite places on earth. I love walking by the Kennedy car and the drive in movie theater. I love that I can now get pie at Lamy's.
