Squire's voitures

I would not have an electric fan simply because it wasn't designed for it. Plus this Armstrong-Siddeley designed Humber engine has intake on one side and exhaust on the other. The Allegro has a thermostatically controlled electric fan which works admirably, and the carb is right over the exhaust out of the airflow on the transverse engine. I haven't had any fuel vapourisation problems with any Allegro but it does have a lift pump and a big heat shield.

The answer of course is a viscous fan. They do nothing until the engine is approaching 90 degrees and then start to engage.

The Ford has one of those but it seems to run all the time so something must be up with it. Aren't they fluid coupled with some temperature sensitive liquid?

Back on topic. I rounded off servicing the Snipe by fitting these 'Positop' battery terminal screws instead of the usual self-tappers. The practical and safety gains are obvious and need no explanation.

When servicing the car it helps greatly to have a reference plate with everything on it, instead of ruining the pages of the instruction book with oily fingers.

Proper engineering, really built solid to last. Rootes really were at the forefront of vehicle engineering back then.

I had them on a couple of cars, they do appear to run all the time. But when the engine is cold you can drag a screwdriver over the blades & it'll stop quite easily. Not so when hot.

Ford ones might have been magnetic, but......Ford.
