The Iter Auto. It looks like a GPS.
It's fitted to the dashboard. It gives you information
about things like crossroads, bridges, level crossing. So, I'm trying to figure out
how this thing works, and when I blow up this photo,
I can see there's a cable trailing into the footwell of the passenger side. That cable must be linked
to the front right wheel. So, every revolution
of the wheel would scroll the map forward, keeping it exactly in sync
with where you are in the real world. But could it really have worked? There's only one real way to find out.
I gotta build this sucker and test it

The Iter Auto. It looks like a GPS.
It's fitted to the dashboard.
00:00:05.038 --> 00:00:07.084
It gives you information
about things like crossroads,
00:00:07.924 --> 00:00:09.384
bridges, level crossing.
00:00:09.926 --> 00:00:12.022
So, I'm trying to figure out
how this thing works,
00:00:12.303 --> 00:00:15.556
and when I blow up this photo,
I can see there's a cable trailing
00:00:15.064 --> 00:00:18.101
into the footwell of the passenger side.
00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:21.001
That cable must be linked
to the front right wheel.
00:00:21.145 --> 00:00:24.899
So, every revolution
of the wheel would scroll the map forward,
00:00:24.982 --> 00:00:28.361
keeping it exactly in sync
with where you are in the real world.
00:00:28.444 --> 00:00:29.987
But could it really have worked?
00:00:30.488 --> 00:00:34.242
There's only one real way to find out.
I gotta build this sucker and test it.
