As MAD Magazine pointed out on its cover for the March 1961 issue, this was the first "upside-up" year—i.e., one in which the numerals that form the year look the same as when the numerals are rotated upside down—since 1881, and the last until 6009.

Can I install a 1600cc transmision in a 1961 vw bug pan?
Q. Ok, i know the difference between late models and newer models are IRS an Non IRS pans, so my question is...If I want to install a 1600cc motor in my original 6 volt 1200cc car? what mods should i make?

A. Are you going to be running a 6v system or a 12v system? If the car is original and still completely 6v and you plan on changing it to 12v you need to start by grinding out the inside of the transaxle bell housing. The 12v flywheel is larger than the 6v one. If you don't make room for the new fly wheel you'll get the engine installed but it won't turn over because the teeth of the larger fly wheel are pressed against the edge of the bell housing. You'll also need a 12v starter and bushing and battery. Not to mention changing all 6v bulbs over to 12v. If you use all you old stuff (fly wheel, starter, generator etc.) The swap is straight forward. Pull old engine out, swap parts over to new engine, install new engine. I'm not sure what… [cont.]

What was the value of Avogadro's number used by physicists before 1961?
Q. Before 1961, the molar atomic mass of Oxygen-16 was viewed as 16g/mol. After 1961, it became 15.9994915g/mol. Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in the molar atomic mass of an element, and it is 6.0221367 x 10^23 mol. What was the value of Avogadro's number used by physicists before 1961?
Asked by Sandy - Tue Mar 13 18:58:51 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The first person to have calculated the number of molecules in any mass of substance was Josef Loschmidt, (1821-1895), who calculated the number of molecules in one cubic centimeter of gaseous substance under ordinary conditions of temperature of pressure, to be somewhere around 2.6 x 10^19 molecules. This is usually known as "Loschmidt's Constant." The best modern values for what we now call "Avogadro's Number" are the result of the x-ray diffraction measurement of lattice distances in metals and salts. Today's best experimental value of 6.022 4199 x 10^23 mol (obtained from NIST web site) is the best average for measurements using the best methods available. The experiments are often very difficult to carry out. That the number… [cont.]
