Interest has undoubtedly been growing lately in the application f supercharging to existing cars, not with the object of raising

An example is a 1935 P-type by the M.O. Midget converted well-known firm of Jarvis, and Sons, Ltd., of Wimbledon, distri- butors of M.Q. cars for south- weet London, who have applied a Centric supercharger to one of these cars.

A striking point about the cu from the supercharger angle was that it had not been made nolay mechanical.y; at low speeds only a faint whirr from the blower was audible, and in spite of several experiments: to see whether the sparking plugs would oil up with the engine left ticking over slowly, no such difficulty was experien ced.

Neither was there spitting back or missing at any time, whilst starting from cold was as

It usually is with M.G. easy as cars, which is saying a lot.

The use of the supercharger gives the car definitely improved acceleration from the lower and middle speeds, and there is a use- ful reserve for top gear accelera- tion from 55 or 60 m.p.h, onwards, which is valuable. When cruis- ing at about 60 with the throttle partly open no "blow" is indicat ed, however, on the gauge, and in any case the maximum super- charger pressure is 5 lb. per sq. in. Provided that this degree of supercharging is not exceeded "It is understood that the M.G.

At 50 m.p.h. and onwards the exhaust was barely noticeable, and the car settled down beautifully.' whilst it's safe, steady handling was greatly appreciated; at lower speeds, around 3,500 rpm. there was a conspicucus exhaust note.

The Centric supercharger fits in quite neatly on the off side of the engine, and is driven by a belt from the existing pulley on the nose of the crankshaft, with a Thalg jockey pulley interposed. drive. besides being dead silent, appears to be perfectly positive. An important point is that oll does not have to be added to the fuel, nor is there a separate oil tank
