    WHAT TO DO WITH FINS
    A bit of advice given to students of the Society of Automotive Engineers by Zora Arkus-Duntov (Chevrolet Special Design Section) could just as well be passed on to may Detroit manufacturers (including his own company). Duntov called fins as phone as fine feathers on a fence post when it comes to their contributing to directional stability. He outlined the following factors as contributing to better handling and control: weight distribution, balance, center of gravity, good steering geometry. Further he urged students to work on these instead of wasting effort on directional rudders.
