Please note that in report Ha/Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/MJ.24.9.31 the induction pipe depression in every case is ins. of Mercury, this was incorrectly stated as lbs/sq.in. on curves Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 30 and Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 34.

In Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 38 the dotted line refers to the single carburetter, The timing in every case is taken with .013 tappet clearance.
