Title
Armstrong Siddeley Motors Memo from Mr Golovine to Mr Palmer: Javelin trials by US evaluation team
Date
23 April 1953
Description

This is a copy of the results of the trials by the US team: They were not impressed having to make constant throttle adjustment during climbing and landing. 'The climb was compromised by the delay in accelerating to best climb speed because of the 160 knot restriction during landing gear retraction and having to continuously make power adjustments due to insufficient governing by the engine controls.'
