One of the Santa Fe books lists a Fred Harvey car (I think a rough drawing) but no one has every seen a picture. The question comes up on occasion but still no pictures.

I know this is a typo but I was just picturing it in my mind:-)!

SWAG but the term spear could mean just that, use a long rod to loosen the material inside so it flows out?
