For no good reason. I think I only called it so because it was in the previous
post, but it's strange how the engine's cooling system extends so far back. I
don't think that it even satisfies the area rule (although I see from an entry
in Wikipedia that that applies to high subsonic speeds.
But I suppose you could describe the system as cooling the oil indirectly :-)
Thanks for that enlightenment, Jim, with lovely old diagrams a special treat.
