Bultaco was founded by businessman Paco Bultó, but he didn't run the company, he had a commercial business director
I admire the Pirelli company, they actively share the company's cultural, history and heritage, they even blog about it.
there is a LOT to look through at https://www.fondazionepirelli.org/en/activities/stories-from-world-of-pirelli/
because the variety of things that Pirelli made is amazing. Sports balls, billiard table rails, raincoats, hoses, radios, rubber flooring
some of these I am simply posting more for their art than for whatever they indicated in print
just one of their posts, is the open door to their archives https://www.fondazionepirelli.org/en/activities/stories-from-world-of-pirelli/retracing-the-history-of-pirelli-industries-new-documents-in-the-online-archive/

there aren't many photographic examples of crews doing something as un military as this to a ship, plane, helo, or tank, the SR 71 had a tail like a chalkboard, and that seems to have been a tradition with the crews
it was at Patrick AFB with mechanical failures in 88 or 89
I had forgotten that I'd heard of Larry Cars years ago, but I just rediscovered them on Dirty Jobs
these are just old example of a much earlier generation of Larry Cars, probably from 100 years ago.
Larries are used to charge coke ovens because of the additional functions of unsealing, removing, replacing and resealing the lid. In fact, judging by Anthony's photo, each oven has four lids.
One function of a Larry car is to be able to accurately dump its contents. Another function in some applications is to be able to weigh the contents so that it can dump an accurate amount of material. Both of these functions is why a Larry was added to the design of Hulett iron ore unloaders.
The cars are seven foot, ten and a half inch gauge. In company literature, they are referred to as ore transfer cars and there are two types, side dump and bottom dump, with, I understand right, the Hoover-Mason system of stock bins.
The bins fed Atlas Car & Manufacturing Company built electric (trolley) powered scale cars that moved, weighed, and dropped the material into skip buckets that were hoisted to the top of the blast furnaces.
now you know what a Larry car is
how to get a airline seat, with no one sitting next to you...
buy all the seats (only money back guaranteed seats) at once, then, at the minimum time allowable, cancel two of the 3, and you get your money back on those, and the row will be all yours, with no one sitting next to you causing problems

The Chicago Herald Times had no clue, and said he was a German-born World War I hero with a background in auto design.
They may have information that was never added to the internet, because, in the October 1928 issue of Popular Aviation, page 94, is this paragraph that says he was in the German Army in WW1
If this is correct, and not speculative, one of Brennemann's paintings was in the Smithsonian museum
Otto was one of the New Deal WPA mural painters http://wpamurals.org/illartists.html in Illinois, possibly in the Elmhurst University, at 135 Prospect St. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Public_Works_of_Art_Project/MGVE0dyFq9MC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Otto+Brennemann&pg=PA68&printsec=frontcover
A couple of his posters were in the Indiana State Library exhibit https://blog.library.in.gov/fall-winter-along-the-south-shore-line-on-display-at-indiana-state-library
Always check Ebay, you never can tell what you might find, even spelled incorrectly. Here he illustrated a Rand McNally book in 1936
why post his other art here, and his family tree? This guy was gifted, seriously talented, and I can't believe that I've now put more of his work together in one place than any other website
He may be the same Otto Brennemann that was indicted for sedition during World War II, but did not stand trial.
Brennemann was a cartoon artist and developed a series of cartoons critical of President Roosevelt’s foreign policy prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor which led to his indictment.
The cartoons were titled “History Repeats”, “The Answer to the Betrayal,” and “ America on the March.”
Being anti administration was offense enough, and the courts were so corrupt (see Trial of Chicago 7, re 1968 riots) but realizing the prosecutor had no real evidence to prove sedition, Judge Laws declared a mistrial on December 7, 1944.
