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 | Diagrams Text: PREVIOUS TYPE: 45° TH'D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Dimension: 1.75", r=, P, Q, TO EQUALIZER.
