RESULTS FROM ROAD TESTS. Graph 1 Subtitle: AVERAGE SPEED 34 M.P.H. Graph 1 Y-axis: CONSUMPTION MILES/GALLON Graph 1 X-axis: OIL PRESSURE lbs/[]" Graph 1 Labels: DIA.1., CAR. 5.EX. Text Body: The same results are given below on an oil flow base which illustrates this point. It should be mentioned here that in order to get a true comparison and avoid complications, the extra oil feed to the cylinders of the Silver Ghost was disconnected.
