  The place where structural tests are done is in Chula Vista. The floor pan this is mounted on looks like part of a transit bus product.
  
  Modern buses seem to use Recaro products for driver seats. I wonder where this seat came from.

  This may be a Flxible Flxette follow on. The door is on the British side.

  I think this illustration refers to the 1973 footprint of the Ford Romeo Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan. Ford had implemented a significant expansion of the faciliity about the time of this illustration.
  
  In my opinion, this is a notoriously difficult thing to implement especially considering the state of computing and microprocessor development in 1973. I didn't see reliaible conveyors and barcode readers until the early 1980s.
  
  Imagine you need to get out a soldering iron, or a wire wrap gun, and scratch your head over electrical schematics in order to make changes to the system. Nowadays, you change the software. Not a simple task in either case.
