Seeing this building just makes me swell with American pride at how we sure do like things big and excessive! Hayl Yeah! I just wish the people in power were the ones who appreciated our forefathers' love for size and beauty. Ican't help but wonder, though, that huge building full of girls. f Ms. Bennett didn't run a tight ship, can you imagine all that giggling and screaming?

That engine is from a ship not much less that probably 600' long. Odds are it was one of four, even up to six egines that took turns working in tandem. Horsepower is in the 1000's and the engine takes up more space than a UPS truck.
