The Odograph: A Robot Mapper

• CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

An article about the Odograph was published in the December, 1944, issue of Popular Science. At 200 pounds, the Odograph auto-created maps as soldiers navigated towards some objective. I couldn’t locate any records that indicate how many were made (anyone know), but there it appears there are nine jeeps that still have them (based on the latest info I could find). I found a few different references about it over at G503.

Pilonidal Sinus: The Jeep Disease

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’d never heard of the disease. Pilonidal Sinus is called the Jeep Disease or Jeep Seat (and probably others). I’ve taken the following paragraphs below from a Canadian link:
http://www.canada.com/topics/bodyandhealth/men/story.html?id=ac51b5e9-23a4-42c9-be8c-19a55aa0a8dc

“Pilonidal sinus most commonly affects that area known affectionately as the butt crack, though it can show up in the belly button, genital region, even between the fingers. Basically, it’s an infected area under the skin, frequently containing a tuft of hair. Think of it as a nasty, hairy, painful tunnel and you wouldn’t be far wrong. Often it starts with ingrown hairs, although new evidence shows that’s not always the case. There’s a genetic component; it tends to run in families, and it’s more prevalent among hairy guys, and those who sweat a lot.

According to a document co-authored by Prof. Keith Harding, the head of surgery at the University of Wales, the condition is 10 times more common in adult males than in adult females.

Harding notes that it was called “jeep disease” in the Second World War since it affected many soldiers who sat for long periods on hard seats.”

Body is in fair condition.
It comes with a floor pan for drivers side, I just never had time to weld it in.
It also comes with a new windshield and gasket that I never got around to installing.
It also comes with a new set of brake shoes… front or back.

Previous owner lost door keys so pad locks were installed to secure the mail.
It needs a drivers side window, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. BRAKES need to be repaired before driving home or you can tow it home.
Great for rural mail routes. Might be a nice alternative to a golf cart for camp/hunting grounds or farm.”

It looks like the tank has been moved to the rear.

“For sale is my 1948 Willys CJ2a – $4,000.00. Great little jeep for driving around town and catching everyones eye or driving back in the woods to get your deer.

The Good:
It has all the original running gear (all the gears R, 1-3, low/high, 4×2 and 4×4 work)
The body has been redone to remove all the rust and replaced with new metal.
It has about 30K miles on it and runs great.
Stops well with solid brake system (original drum brakes so doesn’t stop on a dime like modern cars, can send a link for a conversion if you like, but they work fine)
Paint is Jeep Rescue Green (the green that Jeep is currently using on their new Wranglers)
Clean and Clear title in hand!

What needs to be done:
Exhaust, no muffler on it right now. I can send you a link where you can buy a complete (from header to tailpipe) orignial exhuast for 180 bucks.
Fan belt squeeks (old dried out fan belt may be replaced just depends on if it sells before i can get to the store and get a new one)

For less than the price of a 4 wheeler you can do all the same great stuff and drive it on the road with some style. Serious Inquirys only please 704-880-5939, love to talk about the jeep but can’t do it with everyone.”
