because in climbing mountain passes the lorries would be travelling at a very slow speed - 3 or 4 m.p.h. With a car however, travelling 20 to 30 m.p.h., the speed of the car would force the air through the radiator at all points.

A large number of tests have been made with the object of proving whether the whole of the radiator matrix is used efficiently - our tests show that it is.
