Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/LG23.11.25 OBJECT OF TEST. Consumption tests on Phantom. TESTER. W.A. Robotham. CONDITIONS. Road tests on standard Phantom (98-NK), and dynamometer tests. SUMMARY OF TEST. These tests are still being carried on with the object of improving the consumption on the Phantom. With the same load and axle ratio, the Phantom gives slightly better consumption than the Silver Ghost, if run at a fixed even speed.
