And again... for something completely different from my collection. Check out this headline article from the front page of the June, 1947 issue of the factory-to-dealer publication, Packard News. Yes, I have the whole issue.
This interesting test device was quite advanced for its time. But the wheels here don't merely LOOK like bicycle wheels... they ARE bicycle wheels!
For a while this device with any other PMCC test devices were on display in 1947 at the Packard Proving Grounds in what was termed a "hall of science."
The fifth wheel may be thought of today in connection with towing, but this particular device served as a super-accurate electric speedometer input.
