  1. Six 2 volt cells connected in series with metal bridges. The switch shown at top was installed to replace one of the bridges, the middle one.
  2. That's like two six volt batteries with a switch in between that connects them in series to give you 12 volts.
  3. All works published in the United States before 1924 are in the public domain. Works published after 1923, but before 1978 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication.

  4. I've been to Tarrytown. If you look at the map it's very close to Manhattan. In comparison, it feels like you're out in the countryside though.
  5. Auction over, reserve not met on all of them. No Sale. High bid $5,655.55 on this one
  6. He said the " 30 footer... loves to wag its tail. " So it sounds like it is too long and he'd rather have 24. Given the tow vehicle maybe 30 is too big.
  7. Well that's ridiculous. I never noticed the missing title before. Took a while for someone to mention it.
  8. The first car I bought, the trunk would fill with water when it rained. After accepting that for a while, and summer time came, no more rain, I removed the rear glass. Did no welding. Got a drill with smallish grinding wheel bits of different types. and ground out the rust in the channel where the rear glass fits. And I could see the holes where it rusted through. Bought a quart of good automotive primer that had lead in it and brush painted this channel. Then filled the holes with bondo, and could see from the backside by looking in the trunk, some blobs of bondo coming through the holes. Then ground off the bondo in the channel reasonably flat. Then gave it about 4 more coats of the primer. The reinstalled the rear glass using some "rope" caulking I was able to buy at a glass place that also did automobiles. It sticks very well. Place it around in the channel. Then set the glass onto it. Push down all around and it sets and sticks well. Put the chrome trim back around the glass. Though amateur, it worked very well, no more rain going into the trunk.
  9. That seems to be what he is saying, Though it's not 100% clear to me either. The Indiana title has for a "VIN" the number of the replacement engine. So no numbers on the frame could be expected to match this Indiana title.
  10. I didn't know it referred to Go Go dancers, but it makes sense now.
  11. This place is near The Roxy. In the late 1980's I used to look in the windows when walking by, they seemed to exclusively have used Ferraris at the time. Would usually have at least a couple 308's.
  12. Pictures of the cars with exhaust coming right out the side. Large engine FIAT Las 200 Millas de Santa Monica 1912 (o Dick Ferris Trophy) las disputó Terrible TETZLAFF el 4 de Mayo, ganándolas con el terrible FIAT Tipo S.74 de dorsal nº 44 http://www.pilotos-muertos.com/2009/TetzlaffTeddy.html
  13. I'd say the exhaust is coming out the side of the engine, short pipes, cold morning.
  14. This car raced in 1913. Large engine FIAT.

  16. If the rear window channel is rusted, that is a huge amount of work. And then the windshield channel would probably be rusted too. Cutting, grinding, fabricating, welding in replacement metal. Very nice looking car though. bench seats, fender skirts, etc
