Childs} has confirmed that higher voltage can be "on tap" on the test car, but we consider that Point (1) should be settled first. If the above point could be settled, we would be able to ascertain the degrees of improvement in fuel economy to be obtained from increased voltage. etc., Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C.
