Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 10/LG23.11t.25. OBJECT OF TEST. Consumption tests on 'Phantom'. TESTER. W.A. Robotham. CONDITIONS. Road tests on standard Phantom 96-NK, and dynamometer tests. SUMMARY OF TEST. These tests are still being carried on with the object of improving the consumption on the Phantom. With the same load and axle ratio, the Phantom gives slightly better consumption than the Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial), if run at a fixed even speed.
