R.R. 493A (50H) (D.B. 175 25-9-24) J.H.D. C EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. -6- Expl. No. REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG21.8.25. the two cars we are using we find that roughly 1 lb. out of balance on each Silver Ghost wheel gives the same effect as 1/4 lb. out of balance on the Phantom. We should say that it is impossible to get a standard of comparison of two types without trying a large number of cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
