*****************************************************************************

The current COSI has one as well.  It's one of our outside exhibits.  A
Cadillac rests on a platform on one side of the lever.  Two ropes hang
down from the other side of the lever at different distances from the
fulcrum.  Our guests get a chance to test how the length of a lever arm
affects the lever's effectiveness.  

I'm sure that we have pictures of the exhibit somewhere, should you
want them.

The original COSI had a gigantic lever with a car that could be
lifted.
