Around the time where Count Olaf has locked the Baudelaire orphans in his car, they see the train coming. Then violet is starting to invent the...slingshot shall we call it. You see her rip up the seat leather. Note there is only ONE seat, and the leather is only about 6 feet long. When they actually use the invention however, you see that when the slingshot is fired, the length of the leather is close to 20 FEET! See this one yourself!
