Just as an FYI....This most likely had nothing to do with Delco Moraine (brake systems and little known the test-development facility for the still-born GM rotary engine experiments). My next door neighbor was a brake systems engineer and I remember him driving home a rotary engined Nova with all types of instrumentation in the passenger floor board area to test brake temps etc. I heard from other local car guys that he had a rotary engine Corvette but i never saw that one.
Delco Products in Kettering and downtown Dayton was shocks and electric motors. Nothing to do with brakes. Mom worked for Delco Products both downtown and in Kettering.
