R2/M15.9.25.

EXHAUST ANALYSIS. X.8230 X.4621

Regarding the testing of car and aero engines, we think it would be a good thing if we included an exhaust analysis in these tests, especially when getting out induction pipes, to see whether the distribution is good.

I do not know how difficult an oper-ation is to carry out, and to be of value we ought to take samples from each of the cylinders separ-ately in some of the experiments.
