(2024-05-22 05:34:28) The Key To Successful Evolution

With the discovery of an earlier rule with a "patent pending" improved cursor style (shown previously), the evolution of this model becomes a bit clearer. This idea is supported by sensory deprivation studies carried out in the 1950s and 60s. Research has shown that those who are sensorially deprived, kept in rooms without light or sound for extended periods, crave any kind of input. Knock nine percent off the price of a new car today and one can get an idea of what $60 meant to a car shopper 72 years ago. As one of the leading newspapers in Guyana, it has undergone a remarkable evolution over the years. Yet carbon-14 has been found in diamonds, which are supposedly billions of years old. They're literally just little buckets of DNA and sometimes RNA, which we'll learn is genetic information, and they're just contained in these little protein containers that are these neat geometrical shapes, and that's all they are. Among some Polynesian peoples, words are sometimes abolished; they will cease, for example, to employ in conversation the syllables that occur in the name of a chief; some people of the Bantu race will not pronounce any syllable that is found in the name of a near male relative.

A revised intake manifold and a new version of the "GMR" cylinder head (developed by General Motors Research, hence the name) was adopted in 1934, adding seven horsepower to the engine's original output. But adding the vast enginery of æonic evolution to Hume's views really does nothing toward removing that weighty and piercing objection of Kant's. This situation would cause such maladies as sagging doors and weather-sealing problems, to say nothing of diminished crash safety. Say you need to add some strings together. In its stead was a simpler and, as it would turn out, a more reliable solid I-beam front axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. It transferred power through a torque tube to the semifloating rear axle. Dimensions would vary by body style and chassis, but there was a basic continuity in terms of general shape, running boards, rear fenders, and bumpers. The Opera Coupe featured a single jump seat that folded out of the rear bulkhead on the driver's side. While $60 doesn't seem like much, it was about nine percent of the cost of a Deluxe Six business coupe.

Body styles included a pair of coupes, a two-seater and a "sport coupe" with rumble seat; two- and four-door sedans; and two- and four-door Touring sedans. A cabriolet convertible with a rumble seat was also offered in each series. The Dubonnet design was not used on the Standard. The DeLuxe Six and Improved Eights continued to use an independent front suspension carried over from the 1934 Pontiacs, designed by French racer and inventor, André Dubonnet. Eights used 16×6.50 balloon tires affixed to steel artillery-spoke wheels. Six-cylinder models came with 16×6.00 balloon-type tires mounted on wire-spoke wheels. A new L-head six-cylinder engine was released to help Pontiac compete in the lower-price brackets. Evolutionary theorists tend to become frustrated when many of the rest of us fail to "get" the revolutionary and convincing simplicity of natural selection, that primary engine of adaptive evolution also known as "the survival of the fittest". Dr. T. II. Morgan, who was quoted above as against the theory of the inheritance of acquired characters, rests his faith in the theory of evolution on a geological foundation.

The image above illustrates the impact of color in design. This new design was part of an industry-wide shift to the safer hy­draulics, though it would be a while before all manufacturers would make the conversion. Eights used longer front sheetmetal and running boards to make up the difference. Their superior senses of smell and hearing make them better at spotting prey than human hunters, and their size and agility make them better at flushing and catching it. Six-cylinder cars came with a 4.44:1 differential ratio, while eights received a 4.55:1 ratio. Six-cylinder models used a 112-inch wheelbase, while eights were perched on a 116.6-inch chassis. Examples of this included relatively minor adjustments, such as a switch on some models from the 1935-style flush-mounted taillamps to bullet-shaped units. Like the exteriors, the interiors of six- and eight-cylinder models shared the same basic layouts. Optional equipment for DeLuxe Six and Improved Eight models was not extensive by modern standards, but was on par with other makes in the medium-price field in that era. One could choose such available equipment as antifreeze, wheel discs, trim rings, dual sidemount spares, bumper guards, a couple of kinds of heaters, "Air Mate" and "Air Chief" radios, a vanity mirror, luggage set, dash-mounted watch, and a glovebox smoker set.
