| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R2/M16.10.28. ORIGINAL IMPROVED ACCELERATION. X1725 X4550 H4474 X523 We are considering 4 ways of meeting the increased acceleration problem with cars, such as:- For ease of { (1) The Delavaud free running back axle. getting on to { (2) The free-wheel side shaft. 3rd. gear. { (3) An epicycloidal .7 reduction with smaller gearbox. 50% increased { (4) A supercharger. engine torque.{ I would like to fit all 4 so that we could choose.
