| -2- bbalance weight. This arrangement should give less engine friction which ought to be detectable on dynamometer and possibly petrol consumption at full H.P. at high speeds. At least it will save materially the crankshaft bearings and stresses in the crankchamber which made the R.R. abandon the Brooklands records. [illegible stamp] F.H.R. | ||
