1923 sports rear axle
#17
I guess we will never know the exact story.

GE held the record at Brooklands in 1924 for the half mile flying start at 83.64 MPH.

He held a total of 22 different records at Brooklands for the 1924 season. The longest was the 200 mile record at 76.84 MPH, if he was running a 4.4 to 1 axle that would mean almost 3 hours at nearly 5000rpm with the inch and an eighth crankshaft. A very impressive performance by both him and the machine.
