Scope and content
The Cobra has had a semi official trial with men from the Admiralty and Armstrong's officials present. A speed of 34.89 knots over 6 runs was achieved. All were pleased, 'I suppose she is therefore as good as sold to the Admiralty'. The Viper looks set to achieve a mean speed of 36 knots at her trials, while Turbinia 'has got the Grand Prix'.
