What does this mean????
What exactly do all those letters after Dr Ferdinand Porsche's name stand for? What does Gmbh stand for? What do the initials A.G. stand for. What does LLC mean after a company name? Why is a turbo called a turbo? Things are slow at work today....

Gmbh is like LLC or limited liability company
IE: a company protected by incorporation of some sort. Turbo derived from Latin turbinis meaning "whirling" or "vortex" similar word: turbine A.G. Aktiengesellschaft (publicly traded company) I dont think I spelled it correctly. I dont know why things are slow at your work though  -Rich, who suffers from a well rounded education.

"Turbo" comes from "turbo-supercharger", which is itself derived from "turbine-driven supercharger", which is what a turbocharger is. The exaust gas driven turbine spins a small centrifugal supercharger.
Turbos are superchargers, but superchargers are not turbos. Aaron

GAWD, with a thread like this things must be slow all over.
SicK (purposely misspelled) Heil and he goosesteps away to the tune of .................,!!!! Ok Miles, what are you, in your infinte confusion, going to attack here? My "Blue Flame Seat Heater/Positive Pressue Boost System" is not a turbo nor is it a supercharger. It is a postive gas displacement system. It is powered by BEANS & BEER. A combination of an age old technology with rapid decompostion added. Blah Blah Blah Blah I'm really bored................, snooooooooooooore.

H.C honorary something or other
"The next year, Porsche received what became his most cherished honor, an honorary doctorate from Vienna Technical University, the same institution where 24 years earlier he had sneaked into night classes. This degree was designated by the now-famous "Dr. Ing. h.c." which was forever to be part of the professor's persona and eventually part of his firm's name." |
