now and then I marvel just a tiny bit that I think something like this aftermarket improvement is as cool as a race car, airplane, rim, etc.
I've never seen one of these before, and wonder, "how damn many had to break before the inventor of this got fed up enough to design, and cast, this - and then drill out the holes to bolt it on?"

Well! An indescribably stiffened rear axle! Not really an exaggeration considering how many pounds of iron are involved. 15 million model T's probably provided a reasonable amount of sales, especially in rural areas with bad roads and T's being used for everything including substitutes for farm tractors.
