| COMPARISON OF SQUARE & ROUND TUBES AT FULL THROTTLE LOW SPEEDS. | TYPES OF RADIATOR MATRIX. | FULL THROTTLE TEST. CAR BRACED TO MAINTAIN REQ'D SPEED. | |---|---| | | ALL CLOSED. | LOUVRED BONNET. | | | 30 M.P.H. | 45 M.P.H. | 30 M.P.H. | 45 M.P.H. | | 6.mm. Parallel Square Tube E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 81385. | 21.5º C. | 24.75º C. | | | | Standard 6/7½ mms. Tubes. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 79448. | 13º C. | 16º C. | 24º C. | 27.5º C. | FIGURES GIVEN CRITICAL ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE OR TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE CAR WOULD EVENTUALLY BOIL IF DRIVEN FOR SUFFICIENTLY LONG UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE TEST. FIGURES WITH LOUVRED BONNET ACTUALLY RECORDED BUT SHOULD BE CONFIRMED. AT PRESENT USEFUL FOR COMPARING TWO TYPES OF RADIATOR ONLY. 7 | ||
