Article from September 1913 Ford Times, "Ford Barber Does Rushing Business"

Artifact Overview

With a few modifications, Model T owners could turn an automobile into a stationary power plant. A drive belt attached to the Ford's rear axle could run machinery for any number of tasks, from milling grain to sawing lumber. In this unusual example, an Australian horse groomer rigged a Model T to power mechanized clippers.
