    Honest People, Noble Dreams

    GIZMO

    by Howard Smith
    Here we have perhaps the funniest collection of old footage I ever did see. It features many many hilarious people with their inventions, sideshow talents, and advice. The deepest desires of science are here revealed by a load of enthusiastic crackpots.

    This movie is a collection of stories of people obsessed by a dream

    It does begin with a ‘hand squirter’ but in the screen shots below you’ll see our other heroes.

    Large version here.

    Screen Shots

    Cannonball Belly Men!

    Building Climbing!

    Horrible Flying!

    Running Dogs!

    Farming with Aeroplane Propulsion!

    Gigantor Harmonicas and Fur Coats!
