| 804 also 404 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}17.9.38. We consider that advantage should be taken of the experiments that have been carried out on ventilation, on the next B.50 and B.III bodies which we receive. We should like the railway type ventilator fitted, and arrangements to be made for improved scuttle ventilation on the lines of the attached report. (TO FOLLOW) We suggest that Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} should go down with a car fitted with the railway ventilator and explain what has been done in this matter.
