  Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury (June 1,1563 -May 24, 1612), son of William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley and half-brother of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter, statesman, spymaster and minister to Elizabeth I of England and James I of England.
Robert Cecil was vilified by some of his contemporaries and, as is still common today, some of his less attractive physical features were exaggerated to make an ideological point.
One of the arguments used to attempt to inculpate Cecil in the plot are the death-bed allegations of Robert Catesby's servant stating that Cecil and Catesby, one of the principal Gunpowder Plotters, met on three separate occasions in the period leading up to the events of the night of November 5 1605.

 The Matra M640   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Apparently Robert Choulet was (at the time) very annoyed with Henri Pescarolo, whom he regarded as having destroyed 'his' car, by taking it to full-throttle, rather than progressively building up speed.
Choulet's explanation for the accident was that not the front of the car, but simply the top of the doors was flexing, turning them into small airfoils, which produced sufficient lift to remove what was left of the traction - hereby causing the crash.
According to Choulet, had only Pescarolo followed his instruction to build up speed progressively, the fault would have been detected, and eradicated, and the accident would never have happened.

 MatraSports - the prototypes 1966-1975
For the "24 Hours of Le Mans" in 1969, Matra ordered the aerodynamic engineer Robert Choulet to produce a very sleek coupé - specially designed for the track.
Due to his earlier work with Charles Deutsch, Choulet gave the Matra 640 a familiar look to that of the Peugeot CD : very rounded shapes, with smooth wheel-arches (and partly covered rear wheels) - and vertical fins at the rear.
The chassis of the 640 didn't distinguish itself much from the 650 however: tubular steel structure, original suspension with horizontal dampers in the front.

 MATRA MS650 & MS660
To prevent that the rear could rub the tires under pression of the air masses, the rear was fortified.

Fact is that Choulet was very unhappy with that refusal and that by October 1969 he quit Matra and co-operated with Porsche on the aerodynamically 917LH tyre drop body.
