  A patent pending wrench, made in the USA. There is an odd springloaded step in the open end which apparently provides a ratcheting action. Unfortunately I did not try it out. Does it work?

USS Akron and airplane

  Practicing launches and retrievals of one of the three biplanes carried by the dirigible USS Akron. 

The idea was for the airship to act like an flying aircraft carrier, carrying small biplanes for reconnaissance and fighter protection. The idea did not work out, the USS Akron was destroyed in a crash off New Jersey during a thunderstorm before it was 2 years old..

CLAW (Cinch Lock Adjustable Wrench)

   Ad from 1993. Another world-beater wrench idea, as always with these things, it might occasionally be the tool for the job, but it's never going to replace any wrench in your toolbox. Examples available on ebay if interested...
