RE: (erielack) "Miss February"

Schuyler,

	This topic came up a few months back, based on that same picture.
	The fact is, NO ONE knew what the box was for.
	Theories abounded, including: A power supply for raising/lowering the
floatbridge in NYC, or alternately, an engine block heater.

	Any thoughts, folks?

	- Paul
