1931 Clessie Cummins installs his Diesel in a race car. It runs at 162 km/h in Daytona, and 138 km/h in Indianapolis where it places 12th. And he completed without a single pitstop - a first! Chris

I found a few briefs about diesel developments in the US about the same time frame. Perhaps the development of the 260D was inspired by Clessie Cummins. This webpage has a long and detailed history of diesel developments. From http://www.dieselduck.ca/library/other/prime_movers.htm 1929 In Indianapolis, Clessie Cummins manages to fit his 6.25 liters Diesel engine into a 1925 Packard, seven passenger car. He drives it to New York for the Auto Show where he gets the "cold shoulder" officially- but Ford and GM executives ask for private demonstration. 1931 Clessie Cummins installs his Diesel in a race car. It runs at 162 km/h in Daytona, and 138 km/h in Indianapolis where it places 12th. 1931 Caterpillar introduces the 1C1 Diesel engine crawler tractor. Although more expensive, they sell about 10,000 units, 90% of these having Diesel engines. The Cleveland Tractor Company and International Harvester follow the example shortly after. 1932 CL Cummins installs a Diesel engine in a Mack 10 tonne bus. They proceed to drive across the US, 5181 km, in 78 hours 10 minutes. Faster than any other form of transport - train and such, and all for $21.80 in fuel cost.

Only locks/unlocks with the key from the drivers door. Reason being is that the passenger door and trunk locks do no= t have the electrical component added. Must have been standard in these model years. The drivers door does not have a pneumatic servo, only the electrical switch. This eliminates the use of the pump since the drivers door will only lock/unlock manually. I converted my '85 W123 (300D Turbo) by adding two 12V electric linear pull solenoids working a bell crank and linkage to the mechanical lock mechanismus (push/pull knob) at the drivers door. -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D On 1/20/06, Werner Fehlauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > so that all locks can operate from any of the 3 key locations: trunk, lef= t > door, and right door?
