| REAR AXLE MOTION EXPERIMENTS SHEET I PHANTOM 98 N.K. M.P.H. 23 35 45 23 45 23 35 SURFACE:- AVERAGE MAIN ROAD SHARDLOW STRAIGHT. NO SHOCK ABSORBERS x 5.34 AXLE HEAVILY DAMPED x 2.68 SURFACE:- BAD POT-HOLES. BOLTON LANE. NO SHOCK ABSORBERS x 5.34 HEAVY DAMPING x 5.34 HORIZONTAL SCALE IS TIME, & EQUALS APPROX .7 SECS. PER INCH. VERTICAL SCALE IS AXLE MOVEMENTS, & SHOULD BE MULTIPLIED BY THE RATIOS SHOWN (E.G. x 5.34) TO GET ACTUAL MOVEMENT OF AXLE IN INCHES, A DOWNWARD MOTION OF THE PEN MEANS DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF THE AXLE. THE SMALL FIGURES BENEATH THE GRAPHS GIVE THE AXLE VELOCITY IN FT/SEC AS OBTAINED FROM THE SLOPE. | ||
