RE HORSE POWER OF 40/50 CHASSIS AT LOW SPEEDS.

Referring to Mr. Platford's recent memo concerning the above, Mr. Royce proposes that you should test a modern 40/50 chassis fitted with an old type camshaft to see if the cam form previously used has any effect on the horse power developed at low engine speeds.
