[FWDLK] Mechanical Arts



Just finished being laid up and read
"Chrysler- The Life and Times of an Automotive Genius" by Vincent Curcio... all 700 pages.
 
In his early days on the railroad, Chrysler made some social gaffes at a luncheon.  In Chrysler's own words, "Table manners?  The appetite a machinist brings home when the noon whistle blows was never meant to suffer any kind of waiting." "Yet I realized, after that first experience... that there were a lot of things in the world besides machinery and men."  He went on to master manners and language the same way he had mastered machinery.  If he hadn't, there never would have been Forward Look cars for us to worry about.
