List,

Further to a discussion many months ago concerning the use of bottled
compressed air for supercharging. I have the photos of the dragster that ran
this system using a turbine engine back in the early 60's as remembered by
Glen as I remember. Its actually an engineering marvel and very light at 650
lbs giving 180 plus performance. Was destroyed at some point which isn't
surprising looking at its very brief layout. Ask on the list if you want to
see the photos, will forward.
