And the connection continues....speaking of noses...
This development has "cheated" and duplicated our olfactory sensor cells by GM actual cells, then I guess identified molecules and compare to a database.
What is fascinating is the human protocol, firstly how our organs smell, simple as that (from what I understand it is a lock and key method of the molecule and the fit on the organ surface, but how does that account for the thousands of different molecules). But then it what form does it transmit that information to the brain, that by the way is one of our quickest senses.
Then the brain has to decipher and think and correlate to identify and then that often elicits memory and what is memory...short answer they only know half the answers.

I was taught that the "smell memory" is to prevent eaters from consuming something that made them sick in the past, as well as identifying chemicals that are in short supply, and needed.
IE: Alcohol that made you sick in the past will give a wave of nausea when smelled, as well as "I'm hungry for..." type feelings due to a deficiency.

It should read - "I jumped from about 1/3 of the way into space".
A stroll through time, beautifully shown and without having to lift a bonnet/hood
Who knew about IOE / F-head mechanisms?
Another version not shown is the Douglas with a simple hooked end tension spring externally mounted across the rockers to help with valve bounce, circa 192something !
And Peugeot's race motorcycle, which was very advanced at the time, a DOHC 4V 500 in 1913.
EDITED
Rolls-Royce cars had IOE engines till 1959 - and the Rover P5 aka '3 litre' till 1967
(the military RR engines used in Austins seem to have been ohv)
