Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL Hsl/LGS.9.24. OVER-HEATING. x766 xSet I Our tests have proved that we get less heat to the water with a high compression compared with a low compression engine. Our customers on the Continent claim that the high compression engines heat less water. Attached here-with is our explanation for this. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
