16. Another vintage chassis on this cool twin. Always amazing to me to see how primitive the early driver-protection devices were.

20. I looooooooove this shot. The photographer did such a great job of exposing it and allowing you to see every detail, nut, and bolt on the blower. Arthur Trim tells me that this is Connie Kalitta's Logghe-chassised Ford-powered digger, photographed on a chassis dyno in one of Ford's labs/
