According to the March 1926 road test of the Brooklands, the rear axle was 4.4 to 1, but it doesn't any further details but we could assume 44/10. I have always understood that 4.4 to 1 was the standard ratio for a Brooklands but they could be had on special order at 4.09 to 1 which is the axle fitted to the car in the February 1925 road test. The only sensible ratio I can come up with that gives 4.09 is 45/11
The 1925 car was the earlier model with the dropped waist line, while the 1926 test was on the later model with the straight waist line
