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.

American Ford-A cars assembled in the USSR became the base of the first military tri-shorts, which were soon replaced by the production models GAZ-A and M-1, which also had overseas roots and were equipped with a second rear axle. Continue reading
ALARM SELECTION FOR CAR
WHAT ARE HAPPEN? Car alarms are conventionally divided into three types – they are one-way, two-way and using a satellite warning system. Unilateral are considered obsolete due to the lack of a channel to notify the owner of the car in case of infringement of his car. For notification, they use sound and light methods, and the maximum range is 200 meters in open terrain. More advanced are two-way car alarm systems with feedback, equipped with an LCD display on the keychain. In addition to the light and sound notification method, this view transmits information about the encroachment on the car to the owner’s key ring. In the presence of a liquid crystal display, the keychain displays events occurring at the moment with the machine. Continue reading
CAN YOU MIX MIXTURE OIL?
At the beginning motorists the question arises: is it possible to mix oils of different manufacturers, categories and viscosity classes? Let’s figure it out.
IF OIL IS DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS Any oil consists of a base and a set of additives that give the base oil-based individual qualities. The possible incompatibility of the fundamentals of different manufacturers is covered by the first problem – different manufacturers have different technologies and ways of producing the base, which in the end may have different physical properties (this is especially true of synthetics). Due to the unevenness of the bases, problems may arise when mixing enough identical synthetic oils, but from different manufacturers. Continue reading
