25 years ago I might have enjoyed that. Lighten up. Yes, yes a terrible thing and I'm sure that person was restrained to a bed just for the fun of it by the horrible people who worked there. You're absolutely right. I was on some strange hallucinigentic trip for 11 years and everyone was actually sadistic and abused these poor creatures everyday of their pitiful lives. I'm glad I finally came down from that trip and have been enlightened by your insight. I feel better now.

I live in MIllbrook and this is quite the awesome building. Ive been in it several times and its really cool. The best place to enter for photographic reasons [ entry information removed as per site policy ]. Ive had many of my photos from this building entered in local contests. Great building, love the photos.
These are not car engines, likely class 7 or even small class 8 truck engines. International Harvester was at this plant and they could have a remanufacturing center still here or they just abandoned them. Since they don't meet BIN II they're worthless today.
Any dies left? Those would be worth $$$.
You should send this to Billy and Rick, the ghost of autos past to remind them were they could end up!
You are correct SLS, the balconies were used to move parts that were both produced at the plant and came in from suppliers. Compact multifloor assembly plants, like this, are highly inefficient this balcony type system was likely an effort to make the system more efficient. Clearly that did not work.
Occam's razor:
Every plant had a doctor and nurse on duty during operations. This stretcher was likely used to carry injured workers. It shouldn't be surprising that Studebaker purchased a cheap army surplus one. It has nothing to do with production of WWII trucks, amphibs, or such.
