Chevrolet jet and coat of arms hood ornamentation

  

Chevrolet used an eagle headed jet airplane as a hood ornament in the late 1950s.  Below that was the "vee" logo or the Chevrolet coat of arms.

 

The winglets on these "jets" predate the appearance of winglets on airplanes by several decades.

Crossy cover

 

 

Department of Water Supply cover

 

This Department of Water Supply utility cover is seen in the street beneath our feet.  It features a 6 x 6 squares pattern that surrounds the cross formed by the letters DWS and the two vent holes.  The bright parts indicate that part of the cover is exposed to constant buffing by the rubber tires of passing vehicular traffic.

 

Very hexy

 

 

Hexy cover

 

The design of this telephone communications manhole cover shows off it hexiness:  10 + 2 tabs x 6 x 1.    The ring of six hexagons has the vent holes.  The two tabs, in place of two hexagons, have indents that are used to lift the manhole cover out of the street beneath our feet.
