that it is not serious if the car boils because there is
a limit to which this can go on - there is no possible means
of his knowing when he has reached that limit until the damage
is done. We think however that it can be definitely stated
that either a 20 HP. or a 40/50 HP. car can boil for half-an-hour
and the run continued without stopping to fill up with water.
