Here's something somebody sent as part of a big Powerpoint presentation about 1920s photos. I call it a Shayroller.

Ok, that "Shayroller" is definitely one of the coolest machines I've ever seen! I love it!

sign said auto park

Nice! I can't remember if its Audi or Lexus that tried an auto park feature in a recent model. Wonder how that's working out for them.

Here's a New York Times article from 1908 about a Barber Asphalt Co. steam roller (the "shayroller) accident. No pics, unfortunately...

This is pretty cool... I found a pdf file about the "history of flexible pavements". It has a couple photos of Barber Asphalt steamrollers in use, plus a lot of other neat stuff:

There are some photos of other old construction equipment, horse-drawn wagons for hauling asphalt, and a couple of 1918 logging trucks. Lots of early cars and trucks. Near the end is a photo from 1947 of a convoy of trucks hauling gigantic redwood logs through the middle of a small town.

Still no pics of the "wrong" side of that steamroller, though.

This will suffice...



What do you think Russ... is she wearing a thong?
