POWER LOSSES TO EXHAUST SYSTEMS WITH THE W.W. AND DERBY SCHEMES ON THE STANDARD 40/50 H.P. The following figures give the loss in H.P. of the two schemes relative to the standard 40/50 H.P. system. The tests were taken with cut-out open. TABLE DATA: Column Headers: R.P.M., H.P. with std. 40/50 R.R. exh. system., W.W. exh. system H.P. (Power loss relative to standard), 'Derby' exh. system H.P.
