These guys remind me of the twins in one of your books. They were maybe cranking a 1915 Ford. I think I read once that you thought it was a double exposure and really the same guy cranking and sitting in the drivers seat. This isn't a Ford by the way so now it is a mystery car too.

The picture in Bruce's book shows the same man sitting in a 1915 touring and cranking it as well through the use of trick photography.

The man in the picture ( cranking and behind the wheel)is David Monosmith from Spencer, Ohio... a small village halfway between Cleveland and Toledo. Mr. Monosmith owned a small machine shop and had a contract with Ford Motor Company to machine the rear axles, made from the new vanadium steel that was being drawn in Canton , Ohio. .... The new steel was dropped off in Spencer, and when finished were shipped up to Detroit. Not sure of the year but likely around 1907 when they started using the new steel in the model N and R autos, and before Ford did it "in-house"
Mr. Monosmith was quite the inventor, with several product lines. I know he made some small accessories that caused carbide gas headlights to shine brighter, and also several versions of a locking and locking/ fatman steering wheel for the model T Ford. The steering wheels were very high quality products. I also have an advertisement for some early radio accessory items. the picture mentioned also shows he was an avid photographer, and likely not a cheap hobby in that year. the actual location of the picture is not far from where i live. probably more than you wanted to know, but it is a happy rear axle story , for a change !

Go you think it is the same person in both photos?
What is the car?
