...dinner, who requested a ride. A horrible robot with red eyes and a death-green face demonstrated Rockne placards to the accompaniment of diabolic roaring and swaying. People crowded around to see if it was human or mechanical* Boy and Sea Scouts made models for the Fisher Body Guild. A cutaway Buick motor, electrically driven, revealed the working of pistons and valves. By every General Motors car was a shiny blower to demonstrate the actual workings of Fisher draft control.
