(2) Adaption of spring drive (Wraith type) to isolate cam wheel and shaft coupled with distributor and oil pump from the torsional oscillation of the crankshaft. (3) Intermediate between design of more compact combustion chamber and existing cylinder head an experiment is to be tried whereby the cores of the present pattern can be modified to give a considerable increase in what we have found to be vital, namely the throat area. (4) Throughout the tests the induction system has only been a "mock up" and now we are starting to develop the Duplex Stromberg system. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H.
