| -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.11/JH.12.6.36. The above gap dimensions are in m.m. These results show that there is some appreciable difference in the "pick-up" voltage and constant load voltage on cylinders one and six, as compared with the other cylinders on the engine which suggests that these two cylinders have incorrect mixtures on the "pick-up". We suggest further tests be made altering the induction pipe and carburetter system to improve these results. This should, we imagine improve the performance of the whole car. We should like to point out that our Bentley chassis is considerably better in this respect than the 14 HP. Vauxhall tested. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
