CRANK STARTING A CAR!

Proof that kids of days past really did love cars.

...and that parents were wreckless as hell when it came to raising children.

"Hey son! Fall out of the car, toddle out to the front and turn that crank just like daddy showed you. I can't wait to put another 1,000 miles on the odometer and put both our lives in danger. Being dad sure is great!"

Being alive in 1914 was putting your life in danger.

During the turn of the century, automakers were struggling to capture the Millennial market. They had to resort to introducing them to cars at a much younger age so that they could drive themselves to work in the factories and news paper plants.

On most crank-start cars, you'll break your wrist if you aren't careful. In this kids case, he'd die by headshot...

The kid's last name is Hammond, I think I have traced his lineage to...
