RADIATOR. X.4240

Regarding the radiator, I think generally we are very pleased with the appearance of this, but I fancy (if it could possibly be accomplished) that a radius at the back edge next to the bonnet of the same amount as the front edge, would add to its appearance, which does not seem quite satisfactory with the rounded edge at the front and the square edge at the back.
