Sooner or later I’ll have to fess up to the fact that I don’t know who made it, so it may as well be now. It’s driven by a heavy iron flywheel. Once you scoot it across the floor a few times and really get it spinning, it will take off like a cockroach. At least that’s the plan. If you want this one to work better and go faster, you’ll need to grease him up a little, or whatever magic toy collectors do. (Then again, maybe you wrap a string around the axel and pull if off quickly . . . same theory as a top.)
