Pumps' Perplexities

In the early days of the automobile Henry Ford made a small
fortune producing the good olde Model-T......A square box
which sat on four wheels designed to transport the most
people in a small designed space.....

Well since the Model-T things have changed.....Or have they?
Automobiles were build for style and speed.....Their
construction and design were governed by 'air flow' tests in
wind tunnels.....Less air friction resulted in more speed
or fuel economy.....

rudimentary, says the dictionary for one meaning of the word -
element.).......Guess what it is?...A square box sitting on four
wheels.....Holds a lot of people and stuff, even with a four
cylinder engine like the original 'T".....Do things really
change????......Pumps
