Taking a Leaf out of Corvette’s Engineering Book

By Duncan Ellis | 27th September, 2016 Without overloading on nostalgia, it seems many things that were once considered unremarkable are today quite unacceptable, most notably, smoking in pubs. Although the law is only 9 years old, smoke-filled pubs seem completely alien. Another rapid trend has been the decreasing popularity of The Petrolhead (or Gearhead for Americans). These days, car fans are perceived one of two ways; young scallywags with enormous subwoofers or middle-aged bores who match their leatherette driving gloves with their anorak. The problem for us at West Yorkshire Steel is that we can’t help but be car fans! Working in steel gives an amazing view of the metal as it goes together as a feat of modern engineering, manufacturing and science. Now while modern cars are full of terms like ‘Mech-Limited Slip Diff’ and ‘Push-Rod Actuated Suspension’, some trends from the 70’s haven’t gone the way of The Petrolhead or smoky boozer.
