You're quite right about the incongruities of this safety debate. In the early 1950s, Nash installed seatbelts. For a few weeks. Competitors put out the word that Nash needed to have them, as the ca

According to one source, Nylon was invented in 1935 and given the handy name of "polyhexamethylene adipamide" by a DuPont chemist named Wallace H. Carothers. For some reason the product was renamed N

Most mechanics jiggle, turn and twist the pushrods when they lift them. I'm told that the movement is to break suction so the pushrods don't lift the lifters. I don't know that it's true, but I've a
