(1) Present standard 20 HP. fan.
(2) Hispano. "
(3) Most efficient expl. 20 HP fan.

From these curves it will be seen that whereas the thrust for a given speed for the new fan is somewhat greater than for the standard, the power required to drive is still considerably less. Hence there is considerable justification for retaining the standard belt drive ratios.
