We had an older McDonalds nearby here a few years ago. They tore it down and built a new one in that original style.

It’s been nearly 40 years, but I remember the babies jerking back and forth and waking at the jarring sound of the crank! I quickly learned to wind a half-turn while the swing was still going. While moving, when you’d crank while swinging in one direction (I can no longer remember whether forward or backward), the crank was silent enough so as to not awaken the baby.

Super!
That is going to come in handy someday.

Even twenty years ago you’d occasionally see these at hamfests (amateur radio flea markets.)

At least they came in proper attire.

At least they came in proper attire.

Exactly what I noticed! If and when doomsday arrives, I doubt I'll wear my suit & tie.
And I guess everybody would pee in the sink? No facilities depicted...

That struck me as well.

I don't think any of them will notice if you did or didn't. I am not seeing a light or a generator.
And, it looks like they will be crappin' in the sink. At least the guy has his newspaper.

He'll need that newspaper, 'cause there ain't no TP either.
