Ferdinand Ellerman, astronomer, with a cast iron frying pan and a grease gun!
Ferdinand Ellerman standing in pit below an automobile, with grease gun in hand. (1915) Ellerman is wearing a hat, eyeglasses, a coat and gloves. Behind him is an automobile, with a license plate that reads "CAL 16691". The rear axle and wheels are visible. In the foreground, in front of Ellerman, are two grease cans and a cast iron pan.
And typical for the era the car's the tires don't match. Tire technology was the bane of early automobile travel.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even mention the mismatched tires, because I see so darn many cars from that era of the 1920s-40s that do not have matching tires.
DeleteRussia is still in the news!
