Tommy Boyd, Skydiver

 First wing suit? Tommy Boyd is his skydiving bat suit which allowed him to swoop and soar on his skydiving routine. Date unknown. 

One of my vices is vises, Yankee 992 machinist vise

Just a nice, plain, solid little vise by North Brothers Mfg...

 

Electra Blue spark plugs

 There seems to be a number of companies with the Franco-American name around the turn of the last century doing various unrelated things, but I don't see any info online on the Electra spark plug.

New ideas in ground and air travel

One of four NiteCoach Greyhound buses, billed as the world's first sleeper-coach, posing with a Ford Tri-motor transport in 1929.  More on the Pickwick-built bus at Jesse's Justacarguy

Sidecar Sunday

 Thanks, André!

Tatools wrenches

 These look like fairly mediocre quality tools, made in Taiwan. A thread on Garage Journal suggests they're actually Thorson after they went offshore for their production.

Standard twist drills

 

Another drill case made when they came in nice wooden boxes.  Too bad this box was empty.

 We've covered the Standard Tool company in a previous post.

Operator 25 knows all!

 

GN Cyclecar

 

1915 GP Model GN cyclecar fitted with electric lighting and a license plate.

 The longer the tail, the faster the car, I guess,.

Drilling machine

 I want to rescue these old primitive pieces of bench mounted machinery, even though I really have no use for them. It's in good shape, the table doesn't even have drill marks. Looks like this one might have been converted to a V-belt. With the two sizes of gears on the drive wheel, could it have a high and low speed, controlled by the handscrew wheel on top? Not sure how that works.
