Puzzle Description:

A comment from Joe in puzzle #13398 inspired me to make this puzzle.I'm trying to portray back to the old days when you had to crank a telephone to make a call and crank your Model T Ford to start it.

Excellent, Aldege!

Thx Sarah.

cool pic

oh, very nice!

Thx Tom and Annalivia. I'm kind of in the mood to make b&w's right now.

and i appreciate that aldege as these are very nice

Thx bugaboo.

Fantastic puzzle! Ironic since just yesterday, my dad was trying to tell my grandson who is 10 about when cars had to be cranked to start.

Thx Susan,wow i bet your grandson thought that was way out there.Take your grandson to an old car cruise night this year,there's usually a couple of crank me up Model T's at them.

Not to sound like a crank, but I wish my present car had a crank! It is currently suffering from a mystery ailment where the starter won't crank about once every month. Very frustrating as it's cost me dearly to replace things that aren't helping. ;_;

I saw a show about Mack trucks recently that showed an old crank one. It had a very sensible mechanism where instead of having to crank by hand in a circle, you just pushed down on a lever with your foot.

I'm happy to be an inspiration, and nice puzzle!

nice puzzle. I too appreciate the B&W ones you've done recently. :)

Thx Joe,sorry about your car problems,i'll lend you my 58 Dodge,it starts everytime and runs like a clock.

Thx telly, I figured you would.

I had forgotten that I'd saved this one just part way done a while back. Finally finished it. A bit tricky, got stuck a couple of times. Great image. Surprised to not see any suggestive remarks from Tom about "cranks."

i didn't want to say anything, Joel... bugaboo might get cranky

ooops

dang...ooops again

Great cranking image. Very fun solve.

VERY WELL DONE
