| I attach a sheet of curves - they are probably stale news to you - in case they might interest you. They contain many interesting points, chief perhaps being the amazing workmanship shown in the construction of the jet control mechanism. They were taken a year or two ago. The various measurements entailed were accurate. They verify quite definitely that 30 mph. is the optimum touring speed. Sorry to have inflicted such a lengthy screed on you. Yours faithfully, Oliver [signature] | ||
