Dave Garber was about 35 years ahead of his time.
     This rad had oblique tubes. Dave told me it cost about $1000 each.
     They were intended to cool 350 HP each.

     I think it would be easier to make if the fins were in there 45 degrees
     instead of the tubes. That possibly would reduces our drag in our
     flat installations. We need to get a quote from some of the
     rad makers.

     BTW Dave said it did not cool. He was using NACA scoops.

NACA scoops or not, if his installation did not cool, why risk $1k per radiator on something that has proven it did not work? Are there any working examples where oblique cores were proven to work
where straight cores were shown in the same installation to not work?

It is just common sense that they should work better and created less drag.
The air must make only a 45 degree turn rather than a 90 degree turn to
go through the core. I think it is worth a try after we get the more
wide spread serious problems solved.
