The following article covers the details and advantages/disadavatages of the Roots-type blowers. In particular the eaton model which comes as OEM equipement in many cars. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Also this is my first time posting a mag scan so feel free to criticise the scans and offer advice on what to improve upon for the next time.:)

Very nice. Thanks for the scan. (If this is a series that will survey centrifugal and twin-screw superchargers, feel free to post those when they come out!)

well they say on the first page that in the coming months they will explore virtually every kind of blower, so I'm sure they will cover them too. I'll make sure to scan and post as soon as I get those.

Awesome article. Its nice to see such a detailed account about Roots/Eaton superchargers. I was really surprised by the output of the Thomas Knight supercharger too, since most electric superchargers are big ripoffs.

Can't wait for the next articles... particularly the Lysholm/Twin-Screw one :D
