Aren't those some great old machines? I went there every day for a week when I went down to the factory in 1994 for some instructions on the LS1800 and 2300 loaders. Were you able to tour the factory too? Place looks like an 1800's blacksmith shop.
My dad wanted me to attend the university there, but I heard it was a Christian school and about the same time, Vietnam happened, so I spent four years instead learning in the school of hard knocks with our Navy Seabees. Dad knew RG personally, sold him a lot of silicone electrical insulation for many years that he used in his generators and motors. Had nothing but good things to say about him.
