cutaway drawing of Sam's car
Ultrasonic videoscan unit; allowing the driver to bring into vision
any one of his 88 operative agents at any given moment and allowing
contact and reports to be made; this also acts as a homing location
finder (see below)
Friction-free float steering which enables the front wheel drive
to swivel on its axis and escape in the opposite direction
Infra-red high power headlamps to cut through
fog for first-rate night vision in any conditions
Electric eye reflector to guide self pilot
Self-seal tyres filled with ionised air which expands
and contracts with the outside temperature, keeping up
a constant pressure; made of revolutionary rubberized
plastic — super hard, super pliable
Ultra-gyro spin drive wheel; can be switched on to give extra
application of power allowing car to reach 500 m.p.h.
Stabiliser vent to keep car road-bound at high speed
Sun and air vent; also used as ejector escape hatch
Seats filled with durable liquid foam which sucks
passenger into seat and holds him by aquamagnetic
suction in event of a collision
Secret compartment and air suction unit; fins attatched
to crossbar act as stabilisers, anti-electro attack and
high-powered antennae for radar communication units
Air intake
Mist is fed from auto-self Venetian pretor flaps, spraying
around car to render it impervious to enemy attacks
cutaway drawing of the dashboard of Sam's car
Map-Auto, speaker receiver unit through which Loover keeps
contact with his operating agents and head office; agents
send coded messages
Messages taped on auto recorder
Taped messages fed into brain-computer
which translates message and vocalises it
Steering unit, fitted with electric eye through
grille for self-pilot operation; buttons on handle
grips switch on ultra-gyro spin wheel and cut power
in emergency stopping — when power is cut the car
slows swiftly
Monitor unit zeroes in on all working parts of the
car, showing them on the screen; this allows Loover
to see when and where maintenance is needed and
to test stress for later improvement
Instruments showing speed, danger, charge, &c.
Control levers
Retractable tray containing micro units
which are concealed within seat
Air conditioning — regulated to keep
constant temperature inside the car
High-frequency switch unit
Television screen on which the position, location and activity
of any agent is relayed to Loover immediately (see above)
Extra-sensory grid – relaying any
unusual noises outside or inside the
car
cutaway drawing of the wind generator at the back of Sam's car
Special wind generator: the intake of wind at speed builds up
energy and is piped through the car to the engines; generates
enough power to propel the car along at great speed without
petrol
Wind inductors, inducing the wind into the fin
Super-sensitive plastic stops any energy being lost
