HUDs (for short) use a smail tele-
vision tube which projects a
variable intensity image onto two
small mirrors which reflect) the
image onto the windshield.

The windshield acts as a third
mirror, reflecting the image into
the driver's eyes. This allows the
driver to check the speed and

improved design of the old steer-
ing system. The rack is a gear on
which a pinion resis and rides.
Rack and pinion steering improves
