Advances in car engine heat and shock absorber designs
Heat adjustments allow fine tuning to manifold temperature for efficient operation. Water pump and fan are often belt driven together to simplify construction. Ventilators multiply in types, with one model integrating a windshield wiper and a suction tube to expel bad air. Shock absorbers gain prominence this year as spring devices evolve to reduce squeak by adding a lubricated, metal spring case. Heaters expand with options from simple hot air to exhaust and hot water types, including a sealed fluid heated via muffler connection.
