Keeping ±ad²os Cool
Dear Editor,
SummeRime usually means heat-lots of it. And heat does a job on
±dios. We had a big problem with overheating in our ML²S vehicle
±dios until I came up with this ide³:
The ventilator blower, used when but´oned up during firing, foµes
air into the c³B just above the ±dios.
I made ´his diveRer out of ¶!·¸"¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂ
caÃboard to route the air BeÄ
hind the ±dios. It works Åike
a charÆ.
I used good old Army gÇen
tape to hold my diveRer toÄ
gether, but other ÇadeÈ might
Cme up wiÉ someÉing
bte.
Now we c³n keep on the air
even in 100ÊdegreeËplus temÄ
pe±tures and get our mission
completed.
