Amazing to think of the employees/designers that came up with these ideas and the workers who made them Scott.

Can’t be too many of those around... What year is this from? Most people around here probably didn’t even have running water throughout their house...

That is so neat , I never even knew such a thing was ever produced.  I have to admit , I was waiting for the toilet flush 😄
