R.R. V53A (40 H) (EL. af 18-7-32). J.H.D. EXPERIMENTAL REPORT Expl. No. _______ REF: ________ (3) Pump gland must be good - on the two engines we have tested we have had no trouble. We consider it might be worth running experimental cars with this system to see if any troubles develop. We obtain a very real gain with this scheme with no increase in weight, cost or bulk. We suggest the following would be a simple method of applying this scheme to the present radiators. [Diagram of a radiator component] Present over-flow pipes. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
