| Mor. D Hoyle RE RADIATOR TEST X. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} for R.{Sir Henry Royce} 22.3.15. M1/G22315. We send you herewith blues H.12403A and H.12403B showing scheme for testing radiators. H.12403A shews the proposed position in the Experimental Shop for carrying out the test H.12403B shews the tackle more in detail The tank for heating the water is an existing tank which has already been used in connection with radiator tests. The water is to be heated by allowing steam to enter the tank at the bottom. The amount of water run out of tank can be measured by a gauge glass at side of tank. The water is run into radiator and its temperature taken by a thermometer which is sheltered from the wind. The temperature of water leaving the radiator is also noted. A propeller is mounted on a shaft driven by a motor, the speed being varied by changing the pulley. If we can get this tackle made quickly and the tests completed, the same brackets, portion of tunnel, motor etc. will do for 200 HP testing. The velocity of wind can be measured by anemometer [STAMP] W.M. RECEIVED MAR 24 1915 | ||
