| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3808 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG29.11.26. HEAT UNDER REAR FOOTBOARDS ON PHANTOM. X8500 X3908 C7/C13.11.26. We have today received a design from WW. which follows closely the scheme which they have used in Paris. We shall test this as soon as possible and if successful will issue standardisation sheets. This scheme can be applied to existing cars. Whether we use the Paris scheme or the WW. scheme, neither of these replace good-fitting floorboards. It is essential that the floorboards have got to be an excellent fit and there is no way of avoiding it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
