Chrysler After 10,000    Zig-Zag ribbon considerable Indirect cooling.    122 secs.+    61.6 lbs. Water capacity.    93 lbs. 2.15 galls.

+ These figures are comparable with one another but not with the 40/50 figures owing to the different size of inlet pipe to the radiator top tank. We are making further tests to bring 20 HP. and 40/50 to a common basis.
