Dear Sirs, Autocar Road Tests. We have been wondering what method you use to determine the stopping distance of a motor car in the above tests. We notice that the "Motor" people use a Tapley Meter. We should be grateful if you would send us a complete account of the method you use. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
