Yeah, I saw that too...1897...Wasn't that when the prototype of the prototype of the prototype the CT-100 was made? Yeah..My granmother told me about it...It had a crank-handle on the side...You had to crank it at 13,333 an' a third RPMs to get the 3.7 jiggawats for the hydrostatic gonkulator to oscillate properly....Or sumpin' like that...

Wonder if it was "Gas powered" like Grandpa Jones's tv on the old "HE HAW" show?

I used to have one of those, but the Bioplasmic Vortex Accumulator developed a leaky Frenulem. Fortunately, they invented vacuum tubes soon after those came out.
