Re: Power Curve of B-Series Engine

This came out of a Brooklands book and was originaly printed as a test in "The
Motor" September 26, 1962.  It's in the form of a line graph, but as
autox.team.net doesn't support attached graphics, I'll give it as a chart.

RPM             Torque          HP
                (Lb.Ft.)

1000            40              <20
1500            60              26
2000            70              38
2500            77              50
3000            80              63
3500            78              73
4000            76              81
4500            74              88
5000            69              94
5500            61              95
6000                            92

The fuel consumption rate in pints BHP/HR is interesting in that it decreases to
3500 RPM and then increases after that.
