IMPROVED ACCELERATION. X.1725 X.4550
X.4474 X.523

We are considering 4 ways of meeting the
increased acceleration problem with cars, such as :-

For ease of { 1. Delavaud free running back axle.
getting on { 2. The free wheel side shaft.
to 3rd. gear. { 3. An epicycloidal .7 reduction with smaller
gearbox.

50% increased { 4. A supercharger.
engine torque

I would like to fit all 4 so that we could choose.
