(5) Compare bonnet temperatures at 40,60 & 80 M.P.H. full throttle with
(a) shutter control of water temperature.
(b) thermostatic bypass of water temperature.
(A handwritten word 'control' is present between lines (a) and (b), and a handwritten '/' is added after 'bypass' in line (b)).

(6) Determine extent to which matrix area can be reduced with 58 mm matrix to equal standard matrix - same speeds as (1).

(7) Compare induction pipes for lap speeds.
