Quoting Tom Goad:

<<I was assigned the job of figuring out why Corvair engines were tossing
their cooling fan belts. A technician and I solved the problem after testing
hundreds of different belts from various manufactures. We found out that by
using only a specific design Goodyear smoothly wrapped V belt would pass our
test. It would not climb up the sides of the pulleys and fly off. A cut V
belt of any manufacturer, with its raw edges, would easily come off in our
high revving engine test.>>

<< I testified in three court trials and it is the only car (Corvair) ever
proven safe in a courtroom despite all the crazy analysis in by Ralph Nader
and his book "Unsafe at Any Speed".>>


Two new things I learnt today about our beloved cars.Thanks Matt, for
sharing.
