| Copy. FHR4/H211012 GRAND HOTEL DU CANADEL, Par le Lavandou, (VAR) 21st October 1912. Mr Johnson. With reference to the attached correspondence re Lord Dunraven's car 1420. I do not know whether this was sent to me for criticism. If, however, you wish for my opinion, I should not think that the arrangement in question is very suitable. One difficulty occured to me and that is that it would not suit the London-Edinburgh type of car, and I had the impression that the side ventilators, which we have already introduced, are quite sufficient for the purpose of letting in more air. I do not quite like the large moving part, and if the result can be achieved by smaller moving parts it would I think be better as the arrangement shewn seems to rather cut up the scuttle dash board.
