Copying headlong: the secret three-axle all-terrain vehicles of the 1930s in the USSR
By that time, in the Soviet automobile industry, according to the principle “they are getting better and better”, the tendency of universal meaningless copying of available foreign machines, their units and components was firmly established. Without thinking twice, it was laid in the basis of the experimental design work of the Gorky Automobile Plant for high-speed three-axle cars for re-equipment of the Red Army with new types of transport and combat vehicles.

ROTATOR ENGINE RADIATOR. HOW TO ELIMINATE?
Leakage of the cooling system on the road indicates wear / crack of a part and various sealants – only a short-term solution to the problem, which will gradually lead to repair and replacement of parts. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider means to eliminate the leakage of the cooling system as a cure for trouble, in any case this is a TEMPORARY decision. If there is a radiator on a long road, and there is no possibility to solder or seal the crack, remove the safety valve from the plug. Overpressure will disappear and flow will decrease or stop altogether. SPECIAL SEALS Often, the radiator or cooling system pipes begin to flow in a long journey. Continue reading
HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MACHINE PERFORMED?
TIPS
1. The fact that the car was repainted is evidenced by the difference in shades of body parts, even the most insignificant. You can consider this, being at a distance of about 10 m from the car, preferably with side lighting. To make sure that body parts (for example, the door and wing) should be viewed from several angles. Having fixed a look at suspicious elements, one should move along a curve that approximately coincides with a circle whose center is on the object in question. Colorists who can pick up perfectly matching shades can be found not often, therefore this method allows detecting the discrepancy of colors. Continue reading
