You’re right Firebrand, I mixed the darn birds. Curse my inadequate English. Sooo let’s change it to “Honk, damn you!” ….what?…. I’ll get me coat.

I love the way this site jogs my memory.
I had to look up the image to confirm it, but I remembered the Wills Sainte Claire using a flying goose as a hood ornament.
Significant of nothing, but it’s nice when a synapse resumes firing!

Stan – Lee Valley Tools has some great book reprints – a lot from Popular Mechanics Press – that are real hoot to read.

LOL @ the Minnesota joke- though a more appropriate winged creature would be the state bird: the mosquito.

I think this would be neat up until about 20 mph and then it would look like it was taken out by Dick Cheney.

Charlie- I look forward to seeing a lot more from this 1932 version of Make.com, the list of plans on the cover is quite impressive

If Rolls-Royce was made in Minnesota, this would be the hood ornament.

Nothing says class like a goose on your radiator cap.
