No. 819 REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG11.12.23. making further tests with the double dash air insulated dash-board. We believe the improvements we have made may be sufficient. The complaint at present with the car fitted up in this way is that the driver's feet get too cold. These tests were done with no ventilation in the scuttle. In reading the results, we consider the temperature of the air under the scuttle is perhaps the most reliable figure.
