I remember that pic from an old IOTD, one of the first I saw, but I can't find it.

Yes I remember seeing that one before but it was long ago, 2007 in San Diego.

580:1 reduction...

xoxoxoBruce · 05-16-2018, 05:15 PM

Portable music ain't new...

The 580:1 reduction system seems like a very expensive way to any number of unexpected, and most likely unwanted, outcomes.

Gravdigr · 05-17-2018, 01:54 PM

I expect the whole project was engineered for a very specific outcome.

Going many slow. With very torque.

More portable...

This link has video of the New Zealand war effort.

Quote:

Wrecked and damaged trucks and jeeps, salvaged from the war zones in the Pacifc, are reconditioned in New Zealand motor assembly factories. Story of Allied Co-operation, the United States Army and the New Zealand Motor Industry transformed a supply of combat vehicles in the South Pacific. The restoration of these used vehicles was carried out at Ford Motors, Seaview, Wellington. General Motors rebuilt 2.5 ton trucks, New Zealand was used for replacements where required. Todd Motors plant handled 3/4 ton weapon carriers, all plants were subjected to procedures and scrutiny before being handed over to Automotive Reclamation Section. 3000 vehicles were restored and returned to the Pacific War Zone.

NZ link with something I never heard of. Didn't even know they had an auto industry.
Looks like they did a good job. Sort of like hospitals fixing up soldiers for return to battle.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-30-2018, 01:08 PM

I doubt they do now, even the auto industry in Australia is shutting down.

From Wikipedia:
"New Zealand no longer assembles passenger cars."
