Auxiliary Engine EDB-645, June 25, 1957
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company tested supercharged engines in the mid-1950s. Superchargers compress air going into a car's engine, effectively putting more oxygen into the cylinders for a more powerful explosion during each ignition stroke. This photograph from 1957 shows an auxiliary engine that boosted air pressure at the intake of an experimental engine's supercharger.
