Analysis of cylinder pressure using a light spring card with a non-firing cylinder at varied RPMs.

Identifier  WestWitteringFiles\K\September1923\  Scan57
Date  17th August 1922 guessed
  
LIGHT SPRING CARD - NOT FIRING.
REVS: VARIED.
Cards taken at 1250 and 2400 r.p.m. - Exhaust
Manifold on.
These demonstrate that the pressure builds up in
the cylinder to a greater extent when running at a high speed
than when running at a low speed, also that it decreases
rapidly below 2000 r.p.m.
