User Comments:
• This photograph was taken in the automotive laboratory in the Hotchkiss Engineering building. The lab first opened in 1931 when the Michigan College of Mining and Technology first began to offer specialized coursework in automotive engineering. It continued in use for nearly four decades until 1971 when the mechanical engineering department moved into the newly-constructed Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics building (MEEM).
