| y 20th March 1911. Mr. Nadin X788 20/3/11 R12/D20311 Re Camshafts. Re N10/B17311. I feel that it is necessary to have all the power we can. Customers expect our cars to have "go" in them. With the present gear, 1500 revs. we must try for 70 BHP. i.e. 45 to 50 on back wheels; this means all we can do in the way of power including the larger throttle, i.e. as 1649 and with water jacketed small or both throats.
