Benson research centre
 

Has anybody purchased (body) drawings from The Henry Ford?
What do you think; could you use them for reconstruction of missing pieces?
Do you get paper sheets or e-files?

The one drawing I have from them has no dimensions. Possibly that info was on another sheet that did not comw with the request. Hoping the wood drawings will have dimensions. Trying to figure out how to word the parts request as I have 27 drawings that I need. Some are duplicates of the opposite sides. From the pic's Brent postes many of those are shown on the same print. Hoping I can start and get 2 drawings a month for the next year. Rod

Sure, I have quite a few that I have purchased. They will come in a large JPEG format that you will need to edit together is you are looking for a 24x36 sheet. You also can use a photograph many of the blueprints that are now on a microfiche, ...you just need to do it is person at Bensen.

All of the dimensions are on the sheet but you need to know how to read a 3-dimensional drawing complete with radius & contour numbers. The only drawings that I have seen without dimensions are Assembly Drawings that are showing a 'grouping' of several subcomponents.
