EXHAUST ANALYSIS. X. 8230
X. 4621

Regarding the testing of car and aero engines, we think it would be a good thing if we included an exhaust analysis in these tests, especially when getting out induction pipes, to see whether the distribution is good.

I do not know how difficult an operation it is to carry out, and to be of value we ought to take samples from each of the cylinders separately in some of the experiments.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
