The most common type of feet on early bachelor’s chests were bun feet....

What Is Celluloid and What Does It Look Like? Most people recognize the pale yellow pieces with graining that are meant to simulate ivory as celluloid these days. Celluloid was often referred to as “French Ivory” in its heyday to give it a little more snob appeal and is sometimes marked as such.

A new scoring system, introduced at the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, made the event more fan-friendly. The Gunderson Method, named for its inventor, is a system that judges use to award the first starting position in the cross-country race. The rest of the athletes’ ski jumping scores are then converted into staggered start times....
