Talk:Expansion chamber (disambiguation)

New DAB

This is such a common term that I'm sure it will have more than three entries in time, bubble chamber might yield another for example. But with three very different meanings already, all with stubs at least associated with them, there's clearly a need for a DAB.

It may even be that in time, we will decide that there's no primary meaning for expansion chamber, and move the DAB accordingly. But probably best to wait until the dust settles from discussions regarding two-stroke tuned exhaust systems. Andrewa (talk) 18:49, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

We don't normally give references for a DAB but I thought these would be useful here. Andrewa (talk) 12:45, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
