What is this car doing?

Can anyone explain what this old car is doing? It looks like a dynomometer. But I was thinking that it might be powering g a generator. Ideas?

Neither Google Chrome nor Internet Explorer will show me the picture. It appears to be a blocked site from AOL according to G.C. With I.E. there is no clue. I am unable to guess without the picture.

I will try. See that microscope dot in the lower right hand corner of the box. I think it's trying to find it's way to the finish line in the upper left corner with the red X in a complete white out snow storm somewhere in the Antarctica 50 miles inland form George V Coast off the Indian ocean. Good luck, if (X) is the south pole she's got a 1500 mile trip.

The image is in your AOL mail box. You need to upload it to an image host, then post it using the link provided by the host.

I have recently formed a limited liability partnership with an existing entity to market invisible paint. Right now I am having some difficulty with applying it to glass.

RATS!

Yet another project from LynDoor™ Industries is dashed. Bob, our congratulations to you for being the first to publish.

I wonder what would happen if we used your invisible paint on our portable hole?

It seems your spies have been hard at work. A former associate was working on just that, when she seemed to suddenly disappear from the work area. I thought she may have defected to Lyn-Door Industries, but a quick review of your employee roster showed no one by her name employed there. Her family has been coming around trying to convince me that she is missing. I think they are all just trying to get over on me. I have been forced to modify the formula to allow the portable holes to appear to be black holes to avoid detection.

Oh,

That may have been . She had a habit of disappearing when she should have been working. We let her go, some time ago and no one has seen her since.

I'll post her picture so you'll have that to work with.

Good luck.

It's a white LTD (could be a Marquis, hard to tell) driving in a snowstorm?
