No. REF: HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /ACL/LG151225 [Graph 1] Title: OIL CONSUMPTION ON SILVER GHOST(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) WITH VARIOUS OIL PRESSURES. RESULTS FROM ROAD TESTS. Subtitle: AVERAGE SPEED 34 M.P.H. Y-Axis: CONSUMPTION MILES/GALLON X-Axis: OIL PRESSURE lbs/D'' Labels: Dia.1., CAR. S.EX. The same results are given below on an oil flow base which illustrates this point. It should be mentioned here that in order to get a true comparison and avoid complications, the extra oil feed to the cyls. of the Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) was disconnected.
