Re: double blower

The 2-cycle GM Diesels sometimes had a turbo feeding the Roots, making it a compound supercharged engine. Being a Diesel, this allowed them to throw more fuel at it and make crazy HP (actually, torque) for the displacement. The DD engineer who came to EPA with one said sizing the turbo was a B!tc#.

Re: double blower

Initially the Roots blower was just a cylinder filler for the Rootes two stroke Diesel.
The motor was designed flat to fit under the truck cab.
Dodge bought out Rootes and threw it all away, putting their motor in the cab with all of itīs 140 decibels.

My father used to test drive them, always knew when he was near by the blower whine.

Okay maybe I was wrong with the word "initially" I did know the blower had earlier "roots", I was speaking from a vehicular point of view.

Since I was uploading to YouTube I added this one too. Sorry about the white wash on the color, apparently my camera on video mode can't compensate for the extreme brightness of Bonneville.
