Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG22. 9.24. OBJECT OF TEST. Radiator tests on Hispano Car. TESTER. A.C.Lovesey. CONDITIONS. Taken on road wheel dynamometer. SUMMARY OF TEST. These tests prove that the radiator plus fan efficiency of the 40/50 HP. is considerably higher than the Hispano when taken in still air. The curve showing a comparison between the EAC. and 40/50 HP. indicates that we ought to have less difficulty with water boiling troubles. Tests are now being made comparing radiator efficiency on the road. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
