C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} RG. {Mr Rowledge} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X. 7120 X. 5120 re. CONTINENTAL PHANTOM, AND 25HP. Referring to the above, should not the same treatment exactly be given a trial on Phantom as you have done to J.J. where you shew 4 times nominal = 100 HP. at 3000 revs., still rising 110 HP. at 3500 revs., with two RR carburetters? The wonderful B.M.E.P. at 1500 revs. is so extremely useful, permitting a slightly higher top gear if desired. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
