The standard Phantom is represented by a car with a H.P. curve which is a little below the average however. Graphs 1V. and V.{VIENNA} We consider that the brakes on 10-EX are very good average Phantom brakes. Those on 98-NK (the car previously tested) were rather too efficient, the steering was liable to take charge. Graph V.{VIENNA} once again emphasizes the selective application which can be produced with the RR. servo motor and the consistent results consequently obtained.
