and the other rolls in the opposite way,
so that the driver may cover all the surface
if he likes or just the lower half.
Inasmuch as the coldest water is always
at the bottom it is well that that part

should receive the most protection. The
coldest water is at the bottom because
it naturally settles there. And the bottom
of the radiator is the part that
always freezes first.
