| Left Chart: THE MOTOR 3/3/25. ROAD SPEED M.P.H. TIME SECS. BENTLEY SPEED MODEL. THIS TIME VELOCITY CURVE CONSISTS OF TWO STRAIGHT LINES JOINED TOGETHER BY A CURVE. THIS IS MOST IMPROBABLE. Right Chart: THE MOTOR 17/3/25. ROAD SPEED M.P.H. TIME SECS. VERMOREL 12 - 25. THE VERMOREL, LIKE THE RENAULT, APPEARS TO HAVE A CONSTANT ACCELERATION FROM 10 TO 53 M.P.H. WE HAVE SHEWN WHAT SORT OF A H.P. CURVE THIS NECESSITATES. Handwritten note on far right: 6 Photos 5/7/26 | ||
