BALL BEARING CAMS ON THE 25 HP. SERVO.

We wish to increase the efficiency of the 25 HP. servo. The 45° ball bearing cams run on the last 10,000 mile test proved very satisfactory for consistency and we should therefore like to fit a set having the 35° angle to 18-GIV before it goes to France. The 35° angle is measured in the same way as the cam at present used as standard on the right-hand 40/50 car.
