AIR COOLED JAR
 HAS ADVANT NTAGES
By S. M. Starr

The air-cooled car is especially suit ed for tropical countries and for the following reasons:
 "The atmospheric temperature is, let us say, 120 degrees F.; the limiting
 temperature at which the air cooled
 say 300 degrees F.-this is putting 1t
 very low. We have a margin of 3S0
 F. to play with.
 NOW let us take the case of the
 water cooled engine: The atmospheric
 temperature is again 12O degrees F.
 the limiting temperature is PIP degrees F. at sea level; so that the water cooled engine has only in places like India margain of 92 degrees F. in its favor.
 Turning now to the question of hill climbing one has first of all an advan- tage in favor of the air-cooled engine, inasmuch as it's margin of safety in temperature is not affected to any ex- tent by changes in altitude. Unfor- tunately, the same cannot be said of the water cooled engine which, as greater and greater attitudes are reached tends to boil all the more readily-for instance, at 10000 feet the boiling point of water is 90 degrees C., whilst at sea level it is 100 c. I am told that motorists in South America and also in India sometimes meet with considerable trouble from this cause.
 ne second pOinL III COHneCtiOH with hill climbing relates to the matte: Of load. If a very bad hill is encoun- tered it means that the engine has to be full out" for a considerable time. and that the vehicle will be running so slowly that the relative wind will be to carry off the heat from the cylinders. Supposing that'the air cooled engine is provided with a req sonably efficient fan. I sec absolutely l no reason why it should not be capable 1 of running for an almost indefinite l period on full throttle with the car | standing absolutely stationary If il | :an not do that, one is entitled to as 'ume that tho cooling arrangements | hat is to say the fan, the manner in 1 which the air is directed to the cylin- Ter heads, or the disposition of the | metal round the valves. etc, arc at | ault.
 Tn this respect the air-cooled en- zine calls for more accurate design | han the water-cooled type. but this is 1 he only objection if it is an objection, ] which can be properly brought against 1 he air-cooled engine"
