R.R. C-da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} (No 1) LD. 23, 17-6-25 J.B.D. EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. -4- Expl. No. REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/LG30.11.25. 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. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.
