What is that sled used for?
Money hole.
When I speak of:
45-70: that is a 45-70 Uberti 1885 High Wall Rifle
357 Mag. Rifle: that is a Uberti 1873 Carbine

There's some cool films of them using it with the front end of different jet fighters to develop and test ejection seats.

Above certain speeds, the human simulated/stressed dummies had their arms rip off when exiting the cockpit.
