| - 8 - REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG121025. ACCELERATION EQUIVALENT OF HILL CLIMBING. Surmountable gradients. Torque curve, car weight, displacement. As hill climbing is so closely related to acceleration, it is affected in exactly the same manner by car weight, displacement, the torque curve etc. The remarks made under the heading of 'Acceleration' on these subjects therefore apply to this case.
