| - 2 - immediately mean that the engine could be tuned much more easily and accurately as small variations in power would be more easily seen. Also it would be possible to read the scale more accurately. (4) No vibration at all exists at present and the increased sensitivity would not be affected thereby. (5) Altering the brake constant would reduce the m.e.p. factor to 6.08W, giving an increase in possible accuracy of nearly 30%. Again sensitivity would be increased. The only point against that I can see is that moving the scale etc. inwards would somewhat cramp the parts, but the gain in my opinion easily outweighs the loss. The above presents the case as I see it, but as the impression I was given was that you were against it, I should be very glad to know of any snags I have missed.
