Handmade Sextant. On Loan from Jeff Mahl, George Schuster's Great-Grandson.

George Schuster, an employee of the E.R. Thomas Motor Company, used this handmade sextant while driving a Thomas Flyer in an auto race from New York to Paris in 1908. Schuster won, overcoming unmapped territory, abysmal roads and multiple breakdowns. In 2010, Schuster was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in recognition of his victory.
