IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Perhaps the greatest invention ever, a product of
mid-28th century technology, the Quantum Temporal Displacement Device -
QTDD Mark-7 featuring dual phase-controlled mobius-wound circular
helices driven by a wide-spectrum multifrequency power supply.  Someone
from the far future is collecting precious artifacts:  An idol once
possessed by the priests of Great Zimbabwe containing a stone of great
power - The Eye of Odu; a famous portrait by Michelangelo rescued from
the Louvre before a disasterous fire that occurred in 2380, and other
items of great value. The Mark-7 is humming.  The traveler will return
soon...
