While we were in Dearborn, Michigan last weekend, at the Henry Ford Theatre, it seemed only logical to check out the The Henry Ford Museum. It is a really big museum, with the world's largest Teak floor. There are a lot of cars inside, but they have a lot more as well, mostly to do with the history of industry in Britain and the US.

The exhibits included this huge gas/steam powered engine with two drive shafts that was used to power Ford's Highland Park Plant, which was the first auto plant to use an assembly line. Ford liked this engine so much that when he stopped using the Highland Park plant, he moved the engine to a vacant lot and built the museum around it.

It is hard to get a good scale from the photo, but here Angela and I are on the upper deck where the controls, gauges, and drive shafts are. The huge flywheel is visible in the back.
