-2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}2/KW.22.8.35. Summarising these tests, the reduced back pressure with the modified matrix does not justify such a loss in cooling efficiency and that the original type of matrix should be strengthened up to withstand high oil pressures when starting from cold.
