...accompaniment gaily plays snatches from Chopin's Polonaise Militaire, Beethoven's Ruins of Athens, Mendelssohn's Spring Song. The connecting rods do an authentic square dance to one of Mr. Ford's favorite oldtime tunes. Wheels and tires roll into place of their own accord. The motor's fan becomes a propeller as the imp flies the engine down into chassis.
