Contraption


Germans went all ga-ga over these circular contraptions for the first thirty-odd years of the 20th Century.  Riebicke's capture of this example is one of the very best photos of such.

    1. I suppose it took some sort of movement or effort to get it to move unless one were on a hillside. And them there's the possibility that the objective was to get dizzy.

  3. Sehr lustig. Benutzte diese Gerat im Turnunterricht in Wien. Man musste lernen, damit umzugehen, wenn es auf die Seite fiel, damit man sich nicht verlette.
