...which Dr. Poulter is a scientific director, whelped by the Pullman works and christened Penguin I, it bumbled through the streets on a test run, got stuck under a viaduct. Extricated, it waddled off two days later for Boston at a speed of 10 m.p.h., sometimes less, paused to nose a truck in Columbia City, Ind., slithered off the highway into Mrs. Cleo Watkin's cow pasture near Gomer, Ohio, and came to rest with its nose in a drainage ditch (TIME...

Hendrickson shoved it directly under the falcon nose of Jersey City's Mayor Frank Hague, charged that he alone was responsible for Jersey Central's bankruptcy.
