Mechanical Cause And Effect
a: A carburetor ~
b: mechanical computer
What: "In some ways, a carburetor is like a mechanical, rather than electronic, computer. It is "programmed" by the design engineer to do different things at different times, depending on the operational needs of the engine. Varying physical characteristics of airflow and fuel flow are utilized to help the carburetor to adjust itself to a variety of different needs and conditions of the operating engine, and the demands of the vehicle operator."
