(7) Test Orme Evans square type honeycomb radiator fitted with notched stripped bonding. (8) Ditto. fitted with wire bonding. The wires which go through the top and bottom plates should be about 14 to 16's gauge, whilst the wires bonding the individual tubes in the blocks may be 20 or 22's gauge. (9) Test one of the radiators delivered by MM. Moreux of their present type and one of the square ones which they are making and which is of their INAL lobé type. The radiators should, of course, be filled with water for these tests. The bumping test will tell us whether the radiators are satisfactory as regards make and construction. To test their radiating or cooling properties, Mr Royce suggests we rig up an arrangement consisting of a dashboard, bonnet, radiator and fan, representing more or less a car. The fan should be driven at a constant speed and a measured quantity of water at a constant temperature should be run through it. The This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
