With regard to the question of acceleration, this induction system has the minimum capacity and if acceleration is still affected by blower capacity it may be necessary to arrange the carburetter in between the blower and the induction pipe, as used on the Mercedes. This scheme may also have advantages in overcoming some of the carburation difficulties, and we are investigating its possibilities as regards fitting into the installation.
