INTERIOR HEATING OF CARS.

HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s report is very useful. I prefer using the hot water in a radiator specially for heating the rear compartment. Exhaust heating seems more unsatisfactory and we should run up against many difficulties.

Draining and freezing seem important. We ought to let DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} work at the matter. He may need an assistant because his work is continually increasing.
