Abstract
Shroud, associated with a type of automotive fan and a vehicle radiator core, supports in a position between the fan and core an interposed debris screen which is slidable in guides in the shroud so as to be readily removable transversely out of the hood of an automotive vehicle for cleaning of the screen. Doing the job of cleaning a removed screen is more simplified as a task than, and eliminates the task of, cleaning debris from a radiator core in situ.
