X.4001 - "SEAGULL(Experimental EAC.1 aka Export chassis, Phantom I engine)" STARTER MOTOR.

To enable us to get out the calculations in connection with the Seagull(Experimental EAC.1 aka Export chassis, Phantom I engine) starter motor, we should be glad if you could give us an idea of the reduction ratio which it is proposed to use between the motor and engine, and also the piston displacement as a basis for estimating the starting torque.
