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. R.{Sir Henry Royce} MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
