| Contd. -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG4.11.20. We have found that this works very well. The advantages with it are, we consider:- 1. Positive type valve which can be definitely shut off or regulated accurately. ✓ 2. No controls to wear, rattle or break. ✓ 3. Very small capacity in the heater so that there is no fear of explosion. ✓ 4. It is better to run the heating pipes to suit the convenience of the body rather than to have a "Hot spot" in one place. ✓ Our recommendations are, that we should supply a fitting which could be welded on to our exhaust pipe for connecting up to the exhaust heater. At present a hole is cut in the pipe and clipped round. This frequently allows the exhaust to escape and possibly find its way into the body. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} W.
