A.{Mr Adams} C. Lovesey. CONDITIONS. Taken on road wheel dynamometer. SUMMARY OF TEST. These tests prove that the radiator plus fan efficiency of the 40/50 HP. is considerably higher than the Hispano when taken in still air. The curve showing a comparison between the EAC. and 40/50 HP. indicates that we ought to have less difficulty with water boiling troubles. Tests are now being made comparing radiator efficiency on the road. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ATKINSON & SON | ||
