Herewith analysis of carburetter tests so far completed on Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). It is clear that, for a given depression, we are not getting as good power with the semi-expanding carburetter as with the S.U. One of our next jobs will be to investigate the distribution with the semi-expander.
