Hand drawings of products from back in the day. I would love to pore over those!

I've had the opportunity to do just that at length a few years ago. They are indeed fascinating along with some other microfilm which was in the archives. For me the most interesting notes are the change orders that are in the lower right corner of many of the blue prints. It gives us some insight of when and why changes were made to some of the tooling.

Are the archives open to the public or anything? That's such an awesome opportunity!

The archives as seen in that video no longer exist in that form. I was part of a team selected to help find new caretakers for the archives back in 2017, so that gives you an idea just how old that footage is. So no, the archives are not open to the public. That being said, I know many of the people who are the caretakers for many of the historic items and they truly are in safe hands. I've heard through the rumor mill that some of the information that was uncovered during that process may eventually find its' way into a book. Time will tell...
