Years ago I would take my kids to look at old cars and they would ask me why the valve rockers were on the outside of the engine.

And I have even had people ask me what the big compressor thing is on the front of some 1939 Packard engines. I tell them it is the A/C compressor, the first of its' kind.

It looks like the sort of thing you would see on an air-braked truck from the sixties.
