...tank armor on the presses that used to stamp out auto bodies, promptly offered it to Chrysler and Ford. G.M. had to make its own machines to bore turrets, so it made some for Ford and Chrysler too. Ford developed a new, better compound for molding ignition parts, which Pratt & Whitney now uses. "Liquid forging," a Ford casting method, releases forging equipment for other work, saves large amounts of metal...

The weakest point is the cooling system; cooling area per cylinder is under 1,000 sq. in. compared to 2,800 in the genuine Wright Cyclone. The propeller is a duplicate...
