of aces oration and braking performances of c,mparable vehicles with solid loads and liq4,id loads such as fuel. Have you any records which give details showing differences In performance due to these types of load?
A We have not conducted tests on these
lines but from experience we estimate that the stopping distance of a vehicle with a live {liquid) load may be as much as 8 per cent longer than a vehicle with a dead load. In fact, would be found between the nces of similar tanker vehicles ith liquids of low and high curate testing to prove these a difference stopping dist if loaded viscosity. A figures would, of course, have to be carried out under very strictly controlled conditions; in average road and driving conditions yen/ little difference may be evident.
