Just so I'm clear on this, which booster was Lockheed discussing?  The small 
Girling boosters on Series III, IV and early V, the larger Girling booster on 
later Series V's, the Lockheed unit used on the Arrow/Hunter Range (including 
the fastback Alpine), or one of the aftermarket Lockheed boosters?

I think the SAOC had an article once on the different boosts ratios. Anyone 
know which issue of The Horn it appeared in?
