[Fot] Fwd: Racing History for those over 40!

[Larry Young]

"Cosworth, the Search for Power" is a good book to read.  It gives the 
development history of the phenomenally successful DFV engine. I read it 
because of the following quote from Keith Duckworth:

/My problem was that I had read the books on cam design and I had 
believed them.  That was fatal.  Even so, these people seemed to be 
fairly knowledgeable about the various types of profiles and 
acceleration diagrams. .....  I reasoned that I didn't know what jerk 
was all about, and so I was fairly sure that the valve gear didn't know 
it either.  I thought that all the arguments about jerk were grossly 
over-rated./
