great stuff...that was like poetry. the 911 lump has become quite a monster of complexity. Id have to say, i prefer its humble begginings for simplicity and visual beauty

What's more interesting to me than watching the workers put the engine together, is watching the machines that are designed to assist them during assembly. From the jigs to the automatic robots. Some super smart engineers really do an amazing job designing all the machinery, robots and jigs.
