Authors Abstract
Content
THERE is a great deal of room for improvement in future motor trucks, Mr. Cass reports, both along already established lines and in the direction of specialized models for specific purposes.
Possible individual improvements actually omit no aspect of the truck from powerplant to driver comfort.
Whether or not the gas turbine will have a place in future trucks depends, the author believes, on how it stands up against the future reciprocating engine with regard to the considerations of size, thermal efficiency, maintenance, weight, and initial cost.
