Assembly Instructions from Hell

Thinking some sort of self adjusting dimentional transmodifier with kung-fu comfort grip would be required

Looks simple enough to me, what’s the problem?

The “trichometric indicator support” in the 60′s or 70′s was called a “three-pronged fliget”.

I was able to find this in Model Engineer Magazine from 1986 but it is older than that as I had that tee before 1984.

The nut is called a Penrose hexigon named after the mathematician Roger Penrose in the 1950s. The bracket is also by Penrose. The earliest reference of the support I could find was from the June 1964 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact but I have a feeling it is older than that.

a simple Infinite Improbability Drive would do!

All those parts can be made out of wire exactly as they are drawn. Substitute a piece of wire for each line in the drawing. I could put it together and I would need a pliers, wire, and a wire cutter.

You only need a left-handed monkey wrench to put this together.

I hate the fourth dimension, it’s so confusing. Three dimensions are enough

Hey, this is the flux-capacitor securing bracket. You need a left-handed monkey wrench and conflookter valve apparatus to install it. It is also essential that the sticky side of the paint is applied to the appropriate surfaces.
