Somebody had sent me that link about 6 months ago. What a facility that must have been. I would think it was probably one of the largest manufacturing companies during it's tenure, what with it's own foundry, pattern shop, custom machine tooling, etc. I realize that most iron work has gone with the dinosaurs but it's a shame we (America) don't or can't produce like that anymore.
