If you think I'm kidding, just after a feeding, prop the baby up in front of your face, shake it gently, pat it's back and watch what comes shooting out of the cute little grinning mouth ....... ......that means it's tummy is up to or over the "fill line".

Now, back on subject, sort of, back in the day, the top of the radiator WAS the "expansion tank". So, you couldn't see the level (unless you took off the cap and looked in). Even if the level of coolant didn't cover the top of the fins, that didn't mean it was low.

My point is that people didn't worry about it ....... unless the car overheated.
