| (4) CONCLUSIONS. (I) A longer and more flexible top water connection would be more satisfactory with a central mounted radiator. (II) V.{VIENNA} stay tubes at present cause an undamped period of the rad. (III) Rubbers in the central spring cups can be made to locate the radiator in a horizontal plain without affecting the movement in the vertical plain. (IV) Test IX is the most satisfactory condition yet tried on the road. The buffers can be made to locate the radiator, as the minimum clearance is advised between the rad. and the bonnet. For fitting a bonnet to a car in this condition, the radiator could be temporarily made solid by distance pieces on the studs for the control spring on the bottom tank of the radiator.
