In Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/LG19.7.27 we shewed the unfortunate state of
affairds where μ for joggles is so very low that irreversibility
does not count. For parking μ is high so irreversibility
does count i.e. make parking difficult and does not help in
joggles.

Typical Actual Measurements.

EFFICIENCY.

.720 .940
Parking 55% 65.6%
Joggles. 72.5% 72.2%
