Default Re: Hanging flatheads?

This is actually a disturbing picture. After Ford introduced the Y block they took flatheads and sent them down a chute where they were shocked between the water pumps to put them out of their misery. They were then hung on this line and disassembled into their component parts which were sent for re-cycling, steel one place, cast iron another, etc. As many things Ford did this process was copied by the meat packing industry and is used today to produce boxed beef that we find at our local mega mart.
