I wish I could do drawings like this.
This will go on the web site soon.

When you put it on the website make sure you refer to this as a two-pass
crossflow radiator, not counterflow.  A true counterflow rad has the two
fluids going in opposite direction during heat transfer (not just in the
end tanks)

You are right on the money Jeff. 
Very good point. Even two-pass crossflow radiator does not do
the concept justice. We need to come up with an even  more descriptive
term. A side by side two pass could also be described as a
"two-pass crossflow" radiator. 

How about; "counter flow two pass cross flow"?
