Great pictures

Probably a Hamilton-Standard propeller assembly, they built the vast majority in WW2

The company archives may have some info

Walls are drywalled..ceiling is steel panels. Doors are insulated as well. Furnace is a Lennox high efficiency propane unit. I keep it at 45-47 degrees until I go out to work in it. Here's a pic of the ductwork for the furnace, just ran it out the top of my air compressor room (on the right behind the oil cans)

My garage is not pretty. I have parts hanging up all over the place like a hardware store. Gee, I wonder why?

This is the best picture/logo that mankind has ever invented. There is something about a Mopar man that separates them. :D
