We have also checked the inlet and outlet water temperatures at various speeds and temperatures. Below are the results :-

| Temperature of inlet. | Temperature of outlet. |
|---|---|---|
| | 1000 R.P.M. | 1200 | 1500 |
| 20°C | 27 | 27 | 27 |
| 30° | 38 | 37 | 37 |
| 40° | 48 | 47 | 47 |
| 50° | 58 | 57 | 57 |
| 60° | 67 | 67 | 67 |
| 70° | 78 | 77 | 77 |
| 80° | 88 | 86 | 86 |
| 90° | 99 | 97 | 96 |

Engine run full power on bed - fan and radiator fitted.

We do not propose carrying out any further tests on the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) cooling until we get the improved fan.

We do not see how it is possible to improve the circulation.
