TESTS ON W SLOW SPEED SERVO - STANDARD OR IMPROVED TYPE.

First Table:
| Eqvt. pedal pressure. | Torque put in to servo. | Torque output due to servo | | Total torque output (servo T + T put in) | |
| | | Increasing loads. | Decreasing loads. | Increasing loads. | Decreasing loads. |
| 46.5 | 217.5 | 792.5 | 932.5 | 1010 | 1150 |
| 78.7 | 367.5 | 1179.5 | 1322.5 | 1547 | 1690 |
| 111.0 | 517.5 | 1352.5 | 1389.5 | 1870 | 1907 |
| 143.0 | 667.5 | 1492.5 | 1522.5 | 2160 | 2190 |
| 175.0 | 817.5 | 1592.5 | 1592.2 | 2410 | 2410 |

The following figures give the ratio pull from serv / pull to servo for the previous and standard, or improved type servo.

Second Table:
| Eqvt. pedal pressure. | Ratio P/Q | |
| | Previous type. | Improved type. |
| 46.5 | 1.35 | 3.12 |
| 78.7 | 1.20 | 2.83 |
| 111.0 | 1.12 | 2.43 |
| 143.0 | 1.03 | 2.17 |
| 175.0 | 0.99 | 1.98 |
