O Randall, Imparter of Great Knowledge, please explain to this unworthy Old 
Airplane and TR3 Guy how putting an electric fan in front or behind the 
radiator would make a difference in how much air would flow through the 
radiator? Or did you arrive at this knowledge empirically?

Isn't it rather like putting a resistor in an electric circuit in front of, 
or behind, the load? The flow would decrease just the same?
