Sounds like shipping is a problem not only with Memphis, but with Nashville Tn. as well!

We used to send some of our jet engines to Arnold Engineering test center near Tullahoma Tn. for altitude testing in their wind tunnels.

I was scheduled to spend a few days there on one occasion back in the early eighties, but at the last moment was notified to just show up for the afternoon.

I arrived there to see that someone had run a forklift about 1/3 of the way THRU our engine!!
