Work=force*distance, Power=force*speed.

Work=force*distance, Power=force*speed.   You are right that the horsepower requirement goes with the cube. But, that doesn't impact the gas mileage. Since you are traveling faster you drive for a shorter time, so that extra factor in power cancels out. No?   --   Rick C

Since you are traveling faster you drive >for a shorter time, so that extra factor in power cancels out. No? No, because the speed doubling takes only half the time, but 4 time the power. Not necessarilly 4 times the fuel, because the engine may be "on the cam" at the higher speed, running more efficiently.   An example of this was the 1975 Toyota Celica GT. With the 1975 gearing, it was actually most efficient at 80MPH in 5th, as long as you didn't have to change speed or pass anyone. (I got 52MPG at just over 80mph from Waterloo to Kingston Ontario at 2am on a Sunday morning back in 1979-ish.   Didn't work on the 1976 model - same body (and engine) but different gearing

Can't remember for sure, but it was a DOG at 60mph - requiresd a downshift to get anywhere. I think hey geared the 75 GT the same as the 4 speed. I know I was shocked by the mileage on that trip - going out to Kingston to pit crew for Taisto Heinonnen, "The Flying Fynn" and Tom Burgess on the Twin Lakes Rally. Crewsd for him on the Tall Pines and the Blossom too.   I was offered his backup Celica Team car in 1980 when we finished rallying in the navigational rallye series (After finishing 1st, second and third in 3 years we were no longer elligible) and our R12 was not adequate to run competetively in the performance series but I decided to quit while I was ahead, since I was getting married.

The German engineers thought 55 was a very brief period on your way to cruising speed not a speed you'd try to drive.

jurb6006@gmail.com: Jul 24 05:25PM -0700 >"Never seen an RCA TV in the UK, and I think the GE ones were co produced with Hitachi. "   Here, Hitachi and RCA had quite the relationship. They built bigscreens for each other. You could open up an RCA and find a Hitachi or open up a Hitachi and find an RCA. The last two it seems were Mitsubishi and Sony if you actually wanted their product, everyone else eventually would just buy whatever and have it rebadged.   >"One of the setups with RCA tubes used a low voltage flyback system - it was hard to get transistors that could handle the current. "   Did not run into that problem. I did have some small Emersons that were hard to get a damper diode for because it was such high current. But not an RCA. But you said RCA tubes, that is not the fault of the tubes. It is the fault of the engineers.

Give it a small nudge and the shadow mask would shift or one of the wires would snap. Early tubes had the coaxial second anode connector and those tubes would short internally.   > Don't miss those days. (much)   I remember the PSU boards in 70s trinitron sets. Talk about unnecessarily complex. As an experiment I once replaced the PSU board with a lightbulb as a dropper. (I forget how I provided filament power.) It worked, though voltage instability caused picture height instability.   I liked those sets as they were well valued but CRT emission tended to go. No-one else had worked out how to get the emission back, I did.     NT

jurb6006@gmail.com: Jul 24 05:07PM -0700 >"** Got the tiniest idea what happens if you never clean the pinch roller??   Obviously not. "   The worst part is that the pinch roller is on the oxide side of the tape. Older VCRs were like that but they fixed it by using an elevator gear and dropping the pinch roller to the inside. There is no practical way to do this with an audio cassette.   Actually eight tracks were better in that respect, though the pinch roller was included in the cassette. Actually, some of them did not use rubber ones, they just made them out of plastic and they played fine. Actually they could outperform cassettes as they had double the tape speed. But there were other limitations, like no rewind.   To clean a pinch roller I usually used something abrasive, like a paint scuffing pad. Like the idler wheel in a turntable, if you make it a bit smaller it does not change the speed. In the case of a turntable it is the diameter of the motor shaft, in a tape deck it is a matter of the capstan diameter. Just don't make it small enough that it does not engage.   Oe main thing to keep the wow and flutter down is to make it even. If it is uneven you got problems. I almost always had the deck running when I cleaned the pinch roller, let it turn. I did the same with VCRs by using a dummy tape.   Anyway, older car cassette decks can be a real PITA. You might just want to get one of those fake cassettes that you plug something in to, like an MP3 player or something. Very few car cassette players were better than a 160 K MP3, if any. Or there are those FM modulators that just transmit to the FM, nut those are limited to 15 KHz. But do you really care when you are driving across Texas ? I doubt it.

I doubt it.   8 tracks were overtaken by cassettes, but continued in use. What finished them off was how badly they ended up slipping. The system they used to ensure even tape transport was really not ok.     NT
