INDUCTION SYSTEMS.

From a policy point of view we want to have different induction systems on the Bentley and R.R. products.

We hope that the only thing we shall have to sacrifice with the fixed choke carb. is top speed power.

The tests on the road shew that contrary to the test bed results, the S.U.'s win even at intermediate speeds. We are continuing the tests with smaller bore induction pipes.
