AIR SILENCER FOR THE 20/25 HP.

While making tests on the tank carburetter we observed a drop in power of about 6%, due to the form of intake used. We found that if we cut off the two projections A.{Mr Adams} flush with the entry, we regain our lost power. We cannot see any point in these restrictions, and suggest that they could be left off the tank carburetter with advantage.
