| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 11074 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/ML.20.5.40. Here is an alleged B.H.P. curve of the Lagonda we tried the other day. When you have made your comparison on a ton/miles per c.c. basis, compare with the actual, measured acceleration figures; you should then be able to complete a B.M.E.P. curve which represents what was actually obtained on the car we tried and it would be interesting to see how it compares with the curve I am sending you herewith. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Will you please return the attached details when you have finished with them. | ||
