| POWER LOSSES TO EXHAUST SYSTEMS WITH THE W.W. AND DERBY SCHEMES ON THE STANDARD 40/50 The following figures give the loss in H.P. of the two schemes relative to the standard 40/50 system. The tests were taken with cut-out open. | R.P.M. | H.P. with std. 40/50 R.R. exh. system. | Power loss relative to standard | |---|---|---| | | | W.W. exh. system. H.P. | 'Derby' exh. system.
