| 200B 400. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}19/R.16.11.37. B.III PERFORMANCE. In order to dispose of any argument relative to the performance of B.III, we agree that the performance of 6.B.IV when fitted with overdrive box, 90 m.p.h. @ 4,500 r.p.m. axle ratio, and silent camshaft, will be representa-tive of B.III chassis. We will then estimate the final car weight, and if Sales try it loaded to this weight, they will get the answer to their queries. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
