Louder than hell, they have trouble meeting the OSHA maximum sound threshold.

Alf James Rudolf Lysholm (born 14 December 1893, died 20 February 1973) was a Swedish engineer.


Lysholm worked for the Ljungstrom steam turbine company. He is noted for the development of the Lysholm rotary screw compressor and the hydraulic torque converter.

gonna hafta look that one up. never heard of a G-lader.



EDIT: nopers, a G-Lader supercharger is a scroll type compressor. One scroll is stationary and the other ones moves in a way that the air cavity becomes progressively smaller and "pushes" the air along the scroll.
