REMEMBER THE 1954 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS

The 1954 Oldsmobile Cutlass is an iconic classic car that stands
out for its sleek design and powerful performance. It was the first
of its kind to feature a four-barrel carburetor, allowing it to reach
speeds up to 115 mph. Its signature chrome accents and curved
lines give it a timeless look that still turns heads today.

The interior is just as impressive, with luxurious leather seats,
power windows, and air conditioning. This classic not only
looks good but also has proven reliability – making it a favorite
among vintage car enthusiasts. With over 300 horsepower under
the hood, this vehicle will take you back in time in style!

Widely referred to as the ditto machine, the spirit duplicator
was essentially an early printer invented in 1923 by Wilhelm
Ritzerfeld. Its name "spirit duplicator" refers to the alcohols
or “spirits” which were used as inks.

They were mainly used in organizations like schools, churches,
and various clubs. Basically, any place that often needed to
produce learning materials, newsletters, brochures, and event
flyers. Because hey had the ability to print multiple colors in a
single pass, they became very popular with cartoonists.

Initially, the fluid consisted of a 50/50 mix of isopropanol and
methanol. In 1938 a nonflammable solvent came out and had
a pleasant odor. It was 10% of monofluoro tri-chloro methane
and 90% of a mixture of 50% methyl alcohol, 40% ethyl alcohol,
5% water and 5% of ethylene glycol mono-ethyl ether.
