"We will never give up, no matter what difficulties we face." This one spoke to me! First production rotary car after 7 years of development. And a lofting schematic for the body, which was standard before the adoption of cubic splines to define curves.
We avoided the heat of the day in an art museum then visited the Mazda factory. I learned that Mazda pioneered high compression gasoline engines to get closer to diesel efficiency with precise fuel injection. https://twitter.com/CJHandmer/status/2079160284753649943
A Mazda concept bike, a diagram of the rotary engine, a concept car, and sushi for dinner. The tour includes part of the factory assembly line but no photos are permitted there, unfortunately. It was pretty cool watching the IP be connected the body, then the engine and lower chassis. Multiple different models were being run on the same line. I still can't quite understand how we got to live in a world of preposterous prosperity.
