| -7- He/28.1/A.L.R.L.H.D.Contd. the minimum quantity of fuel under the bonnet and at the same time to provide a greater margin between delivery and consumption than at present. Next to the autovac, we consider the needle valve in the float chamber is the limiting factor in the supply. Having explored the high speed cooling of the Phantom II we propose to do some tests to reproduce hill climbing at 30 M.P.H. the method used being similar to that adopted on Phantom I. We shall also test the square tube radiator and try a test moving the radiator further forward to give the air a chance to get away past the shock absorbers and crankcase.
