Re Radiator Tests.

Wolseley X.1250. Daimler X.1251 and
Lanchester X.1252.

The Lanchester appears poor, but the B. HP. of the engine should be considered with the weight of the radiator.

I am arranging for our radiator to be tested with 3 gallons of water and the upper part of the tank, which I think is unnecessarily big, can be utilized as a steam separator in case of boiling.

I do not think the Daimler heats much water. It has low compression and I think it is not very good in HP., as it does not get so much gas.
