The article has a photo of the K2 ,K-car,the only K-car with Kamm's cooling system.

The data on the cooling system is actually from Rich Taylor's 'SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT .10',Popular Mechanics,September,1981,p.158.
'He positioned the radiator air intake at the very nose,in the area of highest pressure,then ducted the cooling air out again at the base of the windshield.Just at the point where the airflow was starting to slow down and enter a low-pressure area,Kamm's design ejected a shot of relatively high pressure air. This helped preserve the boundary layer up and over the roof.'
