I've always heard that the Ford Museum (and Greenfield) was an exceptional experience and most all the photos from there seem to confirm it.

Looks as though your nice photos tell the same story, so thanks for sharing!

Did you happen to notice if there is any display featuring Carl Edvard Johansson and his precision Gauge Blocks and how they allowed the creation of precision manufacturing starting around the beginning of the prior Century?

Ford, in cooperation with Johansson, had much to do with making those blocks available and affordable and thought Johansson was a true industrial hero!!!

I am sure they are there - there was a lot of stuff I missed.  Didn’t have enough time to see everything.
