300947	2004-12-08 08:21:00	:D Yeah, but you see they have a built-in steering wheel for those rally games! :p	Jen C (20)
300948	2004-12-08 08:21:00	It's a fake Mike. Google it and you will get the history. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
300949	2004-12-08 08:22:00	The concentric steering wheels are great! Manual IRQ steering? Though even at the time Popular Mechanics was a bit over the top with those sorts of articles, and no-one took them seriously, at least not anyone with a bit of science under their belt. Just compare the UK Wireless World of the time with Popular Mechanics, and you'd see what I mean. Just 2 years after that article we were building quite a state of the art analogue computer at Joseph Lucas with peripherals like a high speed pen plotter and projection oscilloscope, and 'wireless' link to the factory fuel system test cells.

It was my good reading for years and years ( esp Letters to Editor) and EW is still good reading. Splendid recent series from Graham Maynard on amp design .. Cheers TonyF	TonyF (246)
