Why are Tuckers so expensive??

[Rusty_OToole]

During the war all anti trust talk was dropped. Big companies were encouraged to cooperate in ways that in peacetime would have been illegal. All under government supervision, in the interest of maximizing war production.

 

After the war they were warned that this must come to an end. GM was warned that the government was watching them and took a dim view of their dominant position in the industry. This is one reason government agencies went out of their way to support Kaiser and Tucker. They thought new car makers were in the public interest. One reason Tucker got the Willow Run bomber plant. Only later did the SEC turn against Tucker. Why there was such a wave of bad publicity and legal action against Tucker is a mystery.

Place two fans facing each other. Turn one on. Which way does the motor turn on the other (not electrically powered) fan? Now, tilt the blades on that unpowered fan the other way. The motor shaft will now turn the opposite rotation.
