I recently came across the press-photo pass shown below. Since it only cost a few bucks, I decided to buy the item, research the game's story, and find something interesting to share with you. So, a few paragraphs from now, you’ll know whether I succeeded in that task.
I will take a look. We called them gassers. Drills with lots of names are often the most difficult to isolate since you are never sure there isn't another name out there. For example, the "blocking sled" arrived in the 1930s, but "charging machines" appeared in the 1890s and were the basis for blocking sleds.
I had always wondered! Next, you might consider the origins of the multiple forms of nomenclature for Oklahoma/Alabama/Jayhawk/Staubach running drill...no two coaches call it the same way. 5 and back, touch the line, 10 and back, touch the line, etc.
