I couldnt agree more Phil, would love to have been a fly on the wall during those meetings and discussions. Ill bet they took place over dusty parts bins with old Henry insisting they use the oldest stuff first. Sid Swallow would have had some sleepless nights as well.
I suppose... applying logic....those curtain rods would have come off something from the 20's or 30's..
