- Ford Motor Company--Plant Construction--Dearborn Engineering Lab--1923-1924--Item71 - Work began on the expansion of the old powerhouse located near the Ford Motor Company Engineering Laboratory in the late 1920s. The building's new equipment would send high pressure steam through underground tunnel extensions to Henry Ford's other Dearborn construction projects -- his museum and Ford Airport. The Albert Kahn-designed structure was completed in 1930.

- Thomas Edison in Laboratory, circa 1926 - Inventor Thomas Alva Edison works in his West Orange, New Jersey, laboratory. Edison directed teams of research assistants here for nearly fifty years -- from 1887 until his death in 1931. More than half of Edison's 1,093 patents resulted from the collaborative work done in this complex, which became a model for modern research and development laboratories.

- Ford Motor Company--Plant Construction--Dearborn Engineering Lab--1923-1924--Item4 - In 1923, construction began on Ford Motor Company's first purpose-built engineering laboratory building. The massive Albert Kahn-designed structure -- essentially a single light-filled room -- housed tool design, production engineering, and experimental engineering research departments. It also housed the offices and presses for the <em>Dearborn Independent</em>, and space for Henry Ford's growing artifact collection. The building was completed in December 1924.
