Success
CONTRARY to the beliefs of many users of Diesel Engines, the Air-cooled Diesel Engine has proved itself a great success in the Pacific Islands.
A unit which at present is giving this ex cellent service is the Armstrong Slddeley Air cooled Diesel Engine. This unit is manufac tured in horse-powers from 5 to 16, and is completely air-cooled and very compact and easy to transport. These Diesel Engines are being exported from the factory to all parts of the world and are operating under the most extreme conditions of climate: under conditions far more stringent than commonly met in the Pacific Islands, for example, in the Belgian Congo Engines are working under the most unfavour able conditions —in some cases, in cellars with out any ventilators and at the bottom of pit shafts. Air-cooled Diesel Engines are also giv ing the utmost satisfaction in use from the tropical conditions of South America (in the Valley of Azapa in Northern Chile) to the almost arctic cold of Pueroto Montt.***
