Students using an automobile driving simulator in a classroom at the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades, February 24, 1953. The "Aetna Drivometer" used real-time traffic films projected onto a large screen to simulate driving scenarios. Students sat in mock-car stations, equipped with controls, to practice driving techniques.

Happy birthday, Basil!!!

I wanted to finish the drawing I had started in honour of the most introspective and handsome vampire character ever created, the most profound and complex I have ever read about, and the character I have identified with most throughout my life (and there have been many, many obsessions over the last 16 years). I didn't colour it in, but I have exams coming up, so I don't have much time.

Anyway, I'll post it soon.

Happy birthday to me and to this wonderful character, created by Rainbow Rowell.
