Does anyone remeber the Latham?
A low profile, axial flow, flat belt driven unit, that
seemed to vanish after just a couple of years.

Chase Knight, who is still working for Crane,
once had  twin turbos feeding a rootes blower in
his dragster. Theoretically the best of both worlds,
but after years of instrumentation and testing,
decided to call it quits.
With today's technological advances, it might
be worth another shot. I'll call and see what he is
up to.
