Bailey - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} P. 2. & 25HP. EXHAUST SYSTEMS. Experience at Derby is shewing that we require bigger silencers on both our cars, as with the increased HP. the present silencers - if made free enough to reduce the losses to a reasonable amount are not silent enough. We are therefore using the Phantom silencer on the 25HP., and making a newer and larger silencer for the Phantom. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
