I found these funny guys on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7170952830&category=50814&rd=1
From what I've dug up, they're pretty old and haven't been around for awhile. Did anyone ever use them? Looks like they'd make good gag gifts.

Very Bizarre! For $50 it would make for a fun little science project though.

Too bad there's four sets of them. I'd be interested in a few of these. Anone else want to go in on a group deal and split the goods? I can't imagine there'll be much action on these.

WTF are those things? How the hell do they work? Maybe I just didn't look close enough at them, but they looked utterly strange.

They're a spring-loaded wedge. Read about them in Freedom of the Hills, Chapter 10. (see also Fig. 10-13 in the 6th Ed.)

Cool, thanks. When I get back to Chico I will definitely look them up in my FOTH.
