It would therefore seem that any effort which could be made towards removing the only disadvantage we at present know possessed by the standard system - i.e. rattling and sticking of the exhaust throttle valve - would result in quite a satisfactory pre-heating system.

We have fitted up the system on a car and shall be able to report upon its general performance later.
