This is the crankshaft for a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C engine, the largest reciprocating engine in the world, used in large container ships. It's a 1810-liter engine that generates 108,920 horsepower at 102 RPM, and it idles at 22 RPM... almost 3 seconds per rotation. This crankshaft weighs 300 tons (660,000 pounds) and each piston weighs 12,000 pounds and has a stroke length of 8.2 feet.

As of 2006 there were more than 300 of these engines in active service.

1958 Edsels on the assembly line. Edsel was an entirely new division at Ford with a network of over 1,100 Edsel dealers. The Edsel was introduced on "E Day" (Sept 4th, 1957), and despite a massive marketing campaign, Ford quickly realized that the public was not ready for this automobile. It ended up being the wrong car at the wrong time.
