Thanks - The Fire Bell I found at a yard sale. You turn the crank around and around and it rings the bell. The seat is a Martin Baker MK H7 Ejection Seat out of a McDonnell Douglas F4D Phantom Jet. The catapult tube between the side rails lifts it out of the jet and then the underseat MK 91 rocket pack fires for .25 sec lifting it another 300 feet higher. The rider gets about 15 - 18 g's. Quite a ride from what I hear.
