PINKING. As affected by distribution. ① Compare standard with small manifold ② Compare 2 S.U's with Stromberg on weakest maintained mixtures ③ Compare knock rating of various fuels on the road. ④ Get a knock value on the test - bed with various mixture strengths ⑤ Summary of the progress that has been made improving fuel consumption by wide spark gaps etc since Taub's recommendations have been followed. ① Watch the spark advance in these tests | ||
