Friday, 24 September 1937
Left South Windsor for Detroit about being 7 miles out of town. Took a bus to see the town, then had lunch, and drove out to the Ford Factory. The Factory has 1,096 acres of land, 100 miles of railroads, 19 engines & 30 ships of their own. I sat in a lovely Rotunda, and waited while the other 2, went all over the works. The visitors are taken out in buses. Takes about 2 hrs to walk around, so I sat in comfort in lovely lounge in a most palatial building. Left about 5, and drove to Moscow. Got a lovely camp, all had hot showers and went to bed.
[See pictures of the Rotunda and Ford Rouge plant (current home of the Mustang). The Rotunda was originally built for the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1933 and was dismantled and relocated to Dearborn, MI, home of Ford. It was destroyed by fire in 1962.]
