Dale- I remember some of those.

One of my favorites is the viewing device which would let you keep your head down all the time riding. You would look into the top of this device and it's prism would bend the line of sight so that you would see the road ahead and not upside down as a simple mirror would provide. Some claim about aero gains and less neck strain.
