  • 1953 Hudson Cars Described
    1953 HUDSON CARS DESCRIBED 1953 HUDSON - GENERAL: A downsized Hudson arrived this year, called the Hudson Jet. It had styling that would be mimicked by the rest of the line in 1954. Gone was the Pacemaker. with its nameplate replaced by a new, lower level Wasp. The upper level Wasp, called the "Super Wasp," and it moved into the former Commodore 6 slot that now disappeared. The Hornet finally supplanted the Commodore 8 completely. The nameplate was retired, putting the 8-cylinder powerplant out to pasture. That L-head I-8, having served twenty long years from 1932 until 1952, was gone. The consolidation of lines and the removal of the Commodore Six and Eight allowed for less tooling in the Wasp-Hornet lines and should have saved money. The problem was that production kept dropping even though the cars were considered popular. The issue at hand was dated styling and the lack of an OHV V-8. At the root of the lower production was Hudson's lack of investment dollars when that trend to V8s and more modern styling was pulling the Big Three away from all other competition. Worse, a good deal the sales problems were the result of Hudson misreading their audience and thinking that these changes weren't needed. Even with the introduction of the Jet, production dropped. And Hudson's racing victories, that outshone all rivals, while earning respect for the brand, did not entice buyers into the showrooms. INNOVATIONS: The Hudson Jet, a smaller, more economical model, was introduced. It was an attempt to drop into the lower price market to pick up sales.

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

  • Uses Electromagnetic Surge to Form Sheet Metal. ​Electrical Energy Stored in Capacitor Is Used to Produce Opposing Magnetic
    Uses electromagnetic surge to form sheet metal. ​ Electrical energy stored in capacitor is used to produce opposing magnetic fields by current ​ carrying conductors around a tubular work. Workpiece takes shape of external die cavity due to magnetic repelling force. ​ Suitable for small tube operations like collapsing, bending & crimping. ​ Electrical energy can be precisely controlled ​ Safer compared to explosive forming. ​ Advantages: High production rates. ​ Lower Die costs. ​ Difficult to form metals can be easily formed. ​ Minimum (almost ‘0’) spring back action. ​ Low production cost. ​ ◦No need of power hammer/press. Intricate shapes can be easily obtained. ​ Suitable for all ranges of production volumes ​ ◦Small nos, Batches or Mass Production. Disadvantages Not suitable for highly brittle materials. ​ Careful handling of energy source required. (chemical explosive or electrical) ​ Highly skilled personnel required from design to execution. ​ Bigger dies required to withstand high energy rates & shocks or product may crack. ​ Electromagnetic forming Electromagnetic forming (EM forming or magnetic forming) is a type of high velocity, cold forming process for electrically conductive metals, most commonly copper and aluminium. The workpiece is reshaped by high intensity pulsed magnetic fields that induce a current in the workpiece and a corresponding repulsive magnetic field, rapidly repelling portions of the workpiece. The workpiece can be reshaped without any contact from a tool, although in some instances the piece may be pressed against a die or former. The technique is sometimes called high velocity forming or electromagnetic pulse technology. Explanation A special coil is placed near the metallic workpiece, replacing the pusher in traditional forming. When the system releases its intense magnetic pulse , the coil generates a magnetic field which in turn accelerates the workpiece to hyper speed and onto the die.
