OVER-COOLED ENGINES
WATER PUMP CRITICISED Analysing the features of tho motorcar chassis of to-day as revealed at Glyinpia, Captain B. do Normanville says that one of the minor features of change that surprised him was the cooling system. "Aa I did not take tho figures last year," he says, "I cannot tell to what extent pump circulation of tho water has grown —but it has unquestionably become much more popular. "I do not quite understand this. I have had many cars with tlicrmosyphonic water circulation —and never nißouiitcred any trouble. I have also had wa fcr pumps on my cars—again no trouble, but a little more occasional repair or adjustment. I should also say that the vast majority of modern, cars
are definitely ovorcooled—so why increase the efficiency of the cooling system? "Some people argue that a six is not so easy to handle on the thermo- ( syphonic system as a four —but one has only to look at the many well : known successful sixes without a water pump to see how little there is in such an argument."
