587: People the Board

British Car History, Rolls Royce Bellows

John C. Dvorak shares an anecdote about the unreliable cruise control in his 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. He explains that British engineers used a rubber bellows system for the mechanism, which would eventually become porous and fail. This leads to a broader discussion on the eccentricities of British motorcycle and automotive engineering.
