Test report on engine booming and induction roar in car 27-EX compared to 26-EX.
Identifier | ExFiles\Box 28\5\ Scan053 | |
Date | 2nd April 1931 guessed | |
-2- The booming of 27-EX. with all the four engine feet fitted was not excessive up to 65 m.p.h. At 70 m.p.h. there was a considerable roar from the induction system presumably due to the carburetter, We consider that this car is far better than 26-EX. for roughness and booms in its present condition.
