Whipple (AutoRotor) Compressor

[John Hess]

Hey, guys (and a doll or two)...

This is not the whiffle supercharger group, nor is it the automatic 
transmission discussion group.  Let's hear from someone with something 
to contribute regarding efi (the title of the group).

A dog clutch is two metal plates that have mating "teeth", and when 
pushed
together, they "mate" better than two flat surfaces.  Detriot Lockers 
(I
think) have them, not automatic transmissions.  I was responding to 
your
message while chugging coffee getting ready for the train.  :)
