To be fair, the answers to questions 2, 4, 7, and 8 can't be found by just watching the film. If you know them it's because you heard them somewhere or you're a super fan.

To be fair, no one could have predicted some of things people were willing to wear out in public in the 70's. I had caramel colored corduroy bell-bottom overalls. OshKosh MY GOD! I still have nightmares about them.

It's a wheel winder. It was originally part of a failed attempt to make rubber band powered cars (i.e. horseless carriages.) A large rubber band stretched from the right rear wheel to the left rear wheel. You would have to connect the wheel wider to each wheel and wind the rubber band. Properly wound, a car could travel for almost a mile before needing to be rewound. It failed mostly because people were winding the wheels in opposite directions which resulted in the car spinning wildly on it's rear wheels. At that was the end for the Whirligig Motor Company.
