RE. 20 HP. COOLING.

We certainly should not expect a 20 HP. car to boil in 2 miles running under full power unless there was something obviously wrong.

We attach a report and chart giving results of tests with regard to Cooling. It will be seen from this that a car was run full power at 20 M.P.H. for 19 minutes on a fairly hot day without boiling.
