INTERIOR HEATING OF CARS.

HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ' report is very useful. I prefer using the hot water in a radiator specially for heating the rear compartment. Exhaust heating seems more unsatisfactory and we should run up against many difficulties.

Drainage and freezing seem important. We ought to let DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} work at the matter. He may need an assistant because his work is continually increasing.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
