Thanks for Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.5/KT.2.9.32. This report on heat in the driving compartment is very interesting.
I am going into the matter closely with our people here who deal mostly with carriage bodies and will probably be communicating with you again.
I imagine that a good deal of what you say also affects 20/25's which suffer just as badly from the same trouble.
