(57) The radiator (5) of an automobile comprises typically an upper hot water inlet tank
(2) and a lower cold water outlet tank (3), connected together by a plurality of vertical
cooler tubes (1) so that water can flow from the upper to the lower tank and dissipate
any excess heat through the cooler tubes. The efficiency with which the excess heat
is dissipated can be increased by locating a series of approximately equally spaced
radiating fins (4) between each pair of cooler tubes (1). In the invention, a tray,
to store groups of fins, comprises at least two sections, each of which consists of
at least a base element (12) and an upstanding element (11), capable of being fitted
together so that one or more fins can be stored between any two successive upstanding
elements (11). Each fin storage tray section (10) is preferably substantially identical
to each successive section, so that only one such section is needed to assemble a
whole range of fin storage trays. Consequently, the cost of providing one tray for
each type of automobile radiator is overcome, since, in the present invention, only
one such section is needed to provide a range of trays.
