Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG2.10.23. OBJECT OF TEST. Carburetter for E.A.C. engine. TESTER. A.{Mr Adams} C. Lovesey. CONDITIONS. E.A.C. Engine on Test Bench. SUMMARY OF TEST. Although this carburetter gives very good promise for the short experience we have had with it, we recommend that a carburetter on the lines of the present 40/50 HP. should be got out for this engine. We feel this E.A.C. carburetter is likely to be always noisy similar to the S.U. The present control for the diffuser, being unbalance, is difficult to operate. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
