Yeah I wonder. For sure engineering for mounting it to the windmill, but the railroad jig, I wonder. Being an engineer myself, albeit electrical, I wonder.
most definitely GE's vast engineering resources were used on the transit mounting as well. GE probably oversaw the loading and securing as well, and probably had to sign off on each mounted blade.

Over here at Silsbee we have been holding about 90 empty TTYX 89' flats all destined for Greensport for about 60 days. They have the harness welded to them.
