    My favorites -

    The One Wheel Motorcycle, capable of reaching a top speed of 93 mph. (1931)


    Model T "Elevator Garage" in Chicago. (1936)


    How makers of the famous London Double-Decker buses proved they weren't a tipping hazard. (1933)


    Crazy!...

    One of the preproduction 80" photos dated 21/11/48 shows a similar test with a Landrover tilted at a little over 45 degrees - the board with the plumbob is chalked "Safe Operation Angle 30 degrees."
