"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:<br>
<br>
<em>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.</em><br>

<div dir="ltr">The best racing film I've ever seen. Great stuff
from the mid 60's with Keith Duckworth developing the engine for
Chapman at Lotus, Hill, Surtees, Clark, Gurney, Brabham, and
lots of others. Terrific. Jim Ray, who purchased my TR-6 when I
went out of the Triumph racing business sent this to me. I also
got a kick to see that the engine dyno scale and tach were
exactly the same type I used in the Competition Dept. days. Lots
of good racing scenes.<br clear="all">
