"The fact that something invented over 150 years ago can still seem ingenious is impressive. This mannequin, which can adjust to be just about any size a human can be, is an example of such an invention. Although it does look a little funny, the real oddity of this device is that it hasn't gained popularity yet. from page 433 of Official Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Great Exhibition 1851, Volume 1.
