| -5- Ha/Du.2/L.10.1.30. (2) We are free from cavitation on the large gap Phantom II radiator as it leaves the works. (3) Cavitation is not as serious as we previously thought. (4) In any alteration to radiator design top tank capacity would be advantageous if we could incorporate it without carrying more water in the radiator as a whole. We shall have the square tube radiator on the road in shortest time possible, but the manufacturers are delaying us with the tubes. It will be noted that, considering its small cross sectional area and relatively large depth, the Chrysler matrix has a low hydraulic restriction. Ha/Du. | ||
