Jess, just to be fair, double check your choice. It doesn't say it is used BY trolley drivers, but rather a device used AT trolley STATIONS. In other words, this device would allow the PASSENGERS to check route info. I just thought I should make certain you are clear about that! :-*

MMMMMMMMMMM......

It could be all of those answers........

Ive gone for the directional thing at a rest station for motorists.......

Now, if one of those was put up anywhere in a public place today, it would probably last five minutes, but in the "olden days" there were no vandals, so it would have remained intact.

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

That is very true Sue! Such devices would have been safely installed outside (or inside a motorist arcade) with little worry of vandalism. :)

I voted pre GPS navigational device

It's clearly some kind of route planner, it shows detailed driving directions.
Therefore some of the above possibilities are possible. But it's so detailed it wouldn't make sense if it were meant for any kind of "public" use, meaning providing route directions at radio stations, rest areas, AAA offices, etc.

It's one specific, very detailed route for one driver. Therefore navigational device.
I guess it was used by transport companies (or the transport department of some company) when they sent out their truck drivers.
A secretary/office worker planned the routes for several truckers individually, typed it, put it into the box and handed it to the drivers in the morning when they began their work. Next day, another roll of paper, describing another route, can be placed in the box.

 
I'm already building a shed for my lamb, just so you know David. ;D

Well, I think they hint in this, is that it is covered with glass......which means it was probably situated OUTSIDE somewhere.......

Maybe I should have kept that to myself....

Hey Rob!! Thanks for playing!

AAA (or Triple A) stands for the American Automobile Association. Some people here join it in order to take advantage of their benefits such as discounts on hotel/motel rates, traveler insurance, tow assistance during a break down on the road, help and directions when lost, etc....

AA is Alcoholics Anonymous. So if anyone wishes to change their vote, you should be able to! Let me know if you have problems. :)

I voted for the GPS thingie. 

But it does look like it could be outside.
It only uses the trolley as a landmark.
Fifty-one miles seems awfully long for a cab ride!
Too detailed for directions over the phone.
Would motorists really use this detail?

It seems more like a GPS device for a bus driver, or a truck driver.

Hey, David, is there some wacky museum in Indy with all these things?

And, are you getting teasing lessons from Kerry? :)

Route info device,so anyone elase who has voted for that option,change quickly, as I have not got one right.

Speaking of which is there a consollation prize for the person who consistantly gets it wrong???  It takes skill you know to be wrong every time. I have to quash the temptation to post the correct answer every time, and deliberatley post the wrong one. Talk about self scrifice !!! It goes against all my natural instincts.

I voted for Pre GPS navigational device.   

I've been going crazy looking at that thing b/c it reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it, and then it finally hit me!  When I was little, I had a board game version of the TV game show "Concentration" and it came with this long roll of paper with all the picture clues on it, which was placed inside a plastic container with knobs that you turned to get to the next clue. 



Don't ask me what that has to do with anything .......  :laugh:  Another really good one, David - thanks!

Hmm, "at least one"?   ???

That's very OPEN, David!    :-\

If it's at least  one, it could also be six, and that would make me correct, 'cause I chose the trolley car thingo.    ;D

But you could also be implying that it is the item that got only one vote and that would be the teleprompter or taxi thingo!   ::)

Gasp, I'm confused!   :(

A Pre GPS Navigational Device!

The owner of this device said these devices were used by substitute bus drivers who weren't familiar with the route.

Here is a close up of the driving instructions....






So we have THREE winners this time!



Chrissi gets a lamb................


Paul gets a lamb....................


Marie gets a lamb..................

The rest of you get a consolation prize though. Not a real live lamb, but a toy one......





Congratulations Chrissi, Marie and Paul! :D

Aw, David, you don't have to apologize!   :laugh:  The counter does only say two! Am I right that the answer you vote for gets bolded on your screen or am I reading that wrong?

Hi Marie! Yes, the answer you chose in the poll will be in bold. :)

I'm glad I caught my mistake. It looks like we both caught it at the very same time too! :)

Thanks, David  :-*  Maybe for the next poll, we can remind voters to make sure an answer is bolded on their screen.  That might help avoid confusion and should make your job easier!

David, this was a tricky one.  But, I'm happy to win another little lambie!

A little deductive reasoning, and, voila, you get a lambie!

Congrats to Marie and Chrissi.

This is completely OFF TOPIC but I thought any fans of "The Lighthorseman" might be interested to know.

One of the main actors in that movie Jon Blake, the dark haired very handsome one, (played the part of Scotty), was involved in an horrific car accident days after filming that film.

He was left in little more than a vegetative state, but on looking on the net recently, I saw that he is still alive, now in his fifties, and being looked after by his son.

Before he made the Lighthorseman, he was in several TV shows here in Australia, and was very popular, and critically aclaimed as being the "next Mel Gibson".  Tragically, we never got to find out what his future in acting would be.

Rob! Did you vote? You didn't tell us what you think it is! ???

Yes, those two up there with zeros are not the correct choices. I said I would give a hint... I didn't say I'd give a BIG hint! ;)



Well, of course I voted.
AND I posted what I thought it was. Way back on page 4. Before all that OT stuff.
Unfortunately, it was a vote for the AAA device.
(Oh well, it WAS a practice run, and the toy lamb is probably more appropriate to international mail).  :D

Can't wait for the next one.  :)

Well I'm actually quite pleased I didn't win a real lamb - I don't think it would have got on very well with the cow and calf, and I've only got a small garden. I wouldn't want it getting trampled underfoot (or under-hoof in the case of the bovine pets)  :laugh:

And this thread also proves that if you spend all day drooling over asses, you completely forget which answer you voted for anyway! Next time boys, pay attention to the quiz and save drooling over asses until after the answer's announced.  ;)
