HORSE POWER CURVES OF STANDARD 40/50 ENGINE X3050 ?, not these Attached herewith are curves of high and low compression 40/50 engine giving the dynamometer and road wheel horse power with cut-out open and cut-out closed. We have plotted on these curves the different axle ratios so that a comparison of horse power at various speeds can be ascertained. The figures for these curves have been taken from average production engines. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
