The fan to be used is to LeC.3650. This has been fitted and run on 1.B.IV. on 10,000 miles test and is satisfactory for noise and freedom from boiling when the engine is idling. It should be fitted up so that the dimension from the nearest point of the fan blade to the radiator matrix is not greater than .750". A standardisation sheet for this will be circulated.
