These photos were submitted by Bernard A. Zink, of Sacramento, CA. Mr. Zink was the chief representative for the Diesel Engine Exhibit in the original 1936 Parade of Progress. He was in inaugural show, first held in Florida. 

Power Plant Mechanics

    Bob Lockridge (above left) and Bernard Zink (above right) are seen here working on the power plant display. It appears they have taken the head off the engine. What appears to be valve springs and studs can be seen on the top of the engine.
    At the time this photo was taken, Mr. Zink was training Mr. Lockridge to possibly take over the position from him. Mr. Zink was moving on in his long GM Career, including working for GM at the 1939 World's Fair. In fact, at the time he retired, he was still involved with General Motors selling emergency generator plants, cogeneration plants, etc. for such companies as Bank of America, UC Davis, etc.


Bernard Zink receives a $10 award enroute for the best kept unit.
