the real deal,” Holden said.
    “Exactly.”
    Holden passed the technical drawings to Jimmy. “Here, what do you think?”
    Jimmy looked at the drawings. “These look like turbocharger drawings.”
    Holden looked at his legal team. “See, fellas. See why I brought this guy.”
    They smiled and nodded.
    “I don’t get it,” Carter said. “What’s so valuable about a turbocharger? It’s a standard engine part, right?”
    “I had one on my Camaro forty years ago,” another of the lawyers said.
    Carter continued. “If they’re just drawings for a turbocharger, why did you have us scour the patent filings for them? We could have just bought designs like these from a good company. Or licensed them.”
    “Not like these, you couldn’t,” Jimmy said. He pointed to a small part of the drawing.
    “What’s that?” Carter said.
    Jimmy looked at Holden. Holden looked over Jimmy’s shoulder at the drawing. “Perfect,” he said. “This is exactly what I was hoping for. This is real innovation, gentlemen. This is what I had you searching for.”
    “What is it?” a lawyer said.
    “You answer him, Jimmy,” Holden said. “You’re the expert.”
    Jimmy looked up. “Me?”
    Holden nodded. Jimmy looked around the table at the seven lawyers. They reminded him of the seven dwarves. He wasn’t used to environments like this, fancy lawyers in suits waiting for him to speak. He took a deep breath and looked down at the schematic. It looked like a regular turbocharger but there was an important difference in this design. There were digital sensors at key parts of the engine’s exhaust system that seemed to tell the turbocharger when to kick in. But that didn’t make sense. There was no point sensing exhaust pressure if there wasn’t enough pressure in the system to power the turbine. Unless….
    He looked at another part of the schematic. It was unlike any turbocharging system he’d ever seen. It was even smarter than twincharging. There was a chamber next to the exhaust system that seemed designed to store engine pressure, but it wasn’t clear to Jimmy where the pressure was coming from. The pressure could be used to drive the turbine and pump more oxygen into the engine. If the system worked it would really be something extraordinary.
    “You could be on to something here, fellas,” he said to the lawyers.
    They stared at him. “How so?” one of them said.
    “Well,” Jimmy said, “you ever felt like making your car go faster, more power, more torque, more noise?”
    The lawyer who’d spoken looked at Carter. Carter looked around at the other lawyers. They were silent for a minute. Then Carter spoke.
    “But there’s no market for this kind of thing now, is there? People want cars that are safer, quieter, more fuel efficient. They don’t want turbo. They want eco.”
    Holden smiled. “What do you think, Jimmy? Do you want your car to say eco on the side?”
    Jimmy shook his head. “No, but Carter’s got a point. This is not exactly the direction the automotive industry is moving in. Safety, reliability, fuel economy, that’s what the big manufacturers are pursuing. That’s what people want.”
    “You’re right,” Holden said. “That’s definitely the way the market is going. And there are very good reasons for that. But I think there’s a market for this sort of thing too. It’s not for everyone, it’s not for the suburban soccer mom who wants to take her kids around safely, but there’s a market for turbocharging. There’s got to be.”
    Carter looked around at his team of lawyers. Some of them were nodding. Other’s looked skeptical.
    “Look,” Holden said. “I’m not saying we break the bank on this thing. I’m not saying every car in America is going to install a turbo. I’m just saying, some people will be interested in this, old fashioned people, people who remember when cars were more than just vehicles, when they were a statement about who you were.” Holden looked again at
