Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks | | English term or phrase: pole | To conserve space, Issigonis put the engine transversely driving the front wheels: a radical design which allowed a very short bonnet and gave enough interior space for four adults. Other advances included rubber cone independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and a monocoque body that eliminated the need for a costly separate chassis. Not only do Minis have an endearing look but they’re cheap to run, economical to build and perfect for nipping about town. The Mini was one of the first cars to popularise the use of the universal joint in the drive train, previously used in submarine control gear.
The design has many cunning features. During the painting of the shell, a rod was inserted straight through the car, allowing the shell to be spun round as it was painted. The speedometer was originally put in the middle of the dashboard, cleverly covering the hole where the ***pole*** went. |
