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(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) 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.
