OBJECT OF TEST.
Data of Hispano servo.
TESTER.
A. {Mr Adams} C. Lovesey.
CONDITIONS.
Tests made with engine on test bench.
SUMMARY OF TEST.
Ratio of torque output to torque input.
Experiments made over a range of loads equivalent to pedal pressures from 15 lbs. to 100 lbs. and an equivalent car speed of approx. 30 M.P.H.
Torque output - In these results -
Torque output = torque given by servo + torque input.
RESULTS :-
| | Ratio torque output / torque input | Value of μ from results. |
|---|---|---|
| Max. value reached. | 10 | .57 |
| Min. value reached. | 3 | .28 |
| Average value. | 4 | .36 |
