| 20HP POWER INCREASE DUE TO LONG DURATION OF VALVE LIFT. ENGINE No 11-GII COMPRESSION RATIO = DIAG No 1 LARGER VALVES. (-NOT ON) TWO ZENITH TRIPLE DIFFUSER TYPE CARBURETTORS. SPECIAL LONG DURATION CAMSHAFT. THE HEAVY DOTTED CURVES SHOW RESULTS WITH STANDARD CAMSHAFT. (OTHER CONDITIONS SIMILAR) THE LIGHT DOTTED CURVES ARE A CONTINUATION OF THE FORMER, OWING TO A SLIGHTLY GREATER INDUCTION PIPE DEPRESSION DURING THE STD. CAMSHAFT TEST.
