1.5 diesel Design paper

[smithy010]

i found this really cool paper which was written by two of the design team of the VW 1.5 diesel engine, presented to the INternational Automotive engineering congress in 1977.
One of the authors is Peter Hofbauer, who is a world genius in diesel engineering technology.

It's a riveting read for all those diesel freaks out there, and interesting still for petrolers as well.

I had posted it to the interetsing articles forum, but i'm too lazy, so i'll do that later.

ANyone on dialup, it's a 19meg file, so if your internet is super super slow, i could post a cd... Or you could visit a friend who has broadband.

I meant to post this earlier (too busy) but Smithy sent me a CD containing the design paper. If you're into diesels and interested in the conception of the original VW engine, then this is excellent reading. Highly recommended and ta, Smithy
