The three systems should be compared, therefore, in
performance and fuel economy.

(a) Std. B.V. system.
(b) Std. Wraith system.
(c) New Duplex system.

Note. The latter, after having obtained the correct
road setting. when this is done careful note should be made of
the low speed build up as associated with the straight eight
system.
