In 1958, a Royal Enfield Super Meteor was used by the Transport Research Laboratory to test the Maxaret anti-lock brake on motorcycles. [2] The Maxaret works by detecting rapid decelerations of the wheel that may cause it to lock and releases and re-applies hydraulic pressure to the brake several times a second, keeping the average braking effort at the maximum that can be used by the road ...

Astronomers speculate that NGC 300 X-1 is a new kind of Wolf-Rayet + stellar black hole binary system similar to the confirmed such system IC 10 X-1. [27] Their shared properties include an orbital period of 32.8 hours. The black hole has a mass of 17 ± 4 M ☉ and the WR star has a mass of 26 +7 −5 M ☉.
After the aircraft engine was removed from the Mormon Meteor in 1938, the car was restored to Duesenberg Special specifications, [4] the body was modified for road use, [7] and the car was driven by Ab and Marv Jenkins on the streets for about 20,000 mi (32,000 km) until 1943.

[4] [8] While this 350 GT design work continued, the 350 GTV prototype was rushed to completion for the upcoming October 26 press meeting and the subsequent inauguration of the Turin Auto Show on the 30th.
