Strictly for pros: what are we looking at here?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1 on:** September 21, 2010, 04:25:16 PM »

A device that brakes the car when hit something (like a curb or a pedestrian)?

guido66 · « **Reply #2 on:** September 21, 2010, 04:27:32 PM »

No braking involved, but...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2010, 04:48:16 PM »

Park-assistant?

guido66 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:16:03 PM »

Your first guess was better

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #5 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:19:22 PM »

Not braking...but steering?

guido66 · « **Reply #6 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:20:51 PM »

The device doesn't do anything to the motion of the car

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #7 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:27:52 PM »

Against thefts?

guido66 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:28:53 PM »

No, your first guess was still the best...

I suppose it scoops up a pedestrian, to prevent them from being run over.

That guy should think of changing his left front tire anyway.

That's just about spot on! The victim is actually grabbed by the mechanism

One point for you

Another point will be awarded for the name of the company behind this and the year in which it was made.

With that license plate probably something Dutch (province of Noord-Holland). Was it done by some Amsterdam taxi company ?

Some kind of Police abuse car device?

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2011, 10:29:30 AM »

Some years later, the idea came up again.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2011, 10:35:57 AM »

Different country, different car, same idea

guido66 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2011, 01:21:52 PM »

All I know further is the company name and the year. The company name is related to the device

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2011, 03:55:01 PM »

Pedestrian Catcher from 1910

guido66 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2011, 04:05:08 PM »

That's an impressive find! However, it's not the name I'm looking for. It is a Dutch company, with an English name (a single word). 1910 is not the year I have, too.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #20 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:59:03 PM »

Cowcatcher? 1924?

guido66 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 18, 2011, 01:14:52 PM »

Not that, and older than 1924

Surely this should be on the Pro's and Feature Writers board if you want to exclude Rookies and Experts from participating

No real facts, but two other similar ideas:
