Preliminary Tests In order to obtain information upon which to basethe design of the new cams as well sls to afford a basis ofcomparison in studying the effect of the new design, a ser-ies of tests was made with the original cams set as indica-ted in the foregoing description. The series consisted offive short runs at loads of approximately 10, 20, 30, 40and 45 brake horse power. The first four were twenty min-utes and the last a quarter of an hour in duration. Fortesting purposes the engine is equipped with ^estinghousswet gas aeter reading in cubic feet, provided with a ther-mometer and an open and manometer for ascertaining the tem-perature an-2 pre
