Andrew Markel covers how the movement of the pistons create torsional vibrations in the belt drive system.

David Sickels connects with a few industry innovators as Joe hits the road to make it to AAPEX in time.
The innovation of the Lincoln Highway wasn’t just about building roads—it was about putting them on the map. The Wyoming Historical Society notes that the abandoned routes laid down by the Union Pacific railroad from 1867 to 1869 were often the best, and sometimes the only, east-west path available when developing the Lincoln Highway. In fact, staying so close to the rail line meant that the Lincoln Highway had about 100 crossings of train tracks throughout the state.
