In other news, good read on the Aircraft Engine Research Facility.
On January 23, 1941, ground was broken in Cleveland, Ohio, to create the facility now known as The NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field (GRC). In 1943, at the dedication ceremony for the Center, Dr. George W. Lewis, NACA Director of Aeronautical Research, provided this prophecy: "There is no doubt as to the excellent quality of results that will flow from this laboratory." The accuracy of his prediction has been born out in the research done at GRC from its earliest days to the present.
Lots of google hits, but offering his one; https://history.nasa.gov/centerhistories/glenn.htm

Love the WWII faux military covers with the IHC symbol in place of the eagle. What a clever way to boost morale by showing the workers that they were fighting the war just as much as the enlisted men (with less risk, of course).
