| 36, Tite Street, S.W.3. 3rd January, 1939. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} A.{Mr Adams} Brinkworth, Esq., Messrs. Hallam, Sleigh & Cheston, Widney Works, Bagot Street, BIRMINGHAM, 4. Dear Mr. Brinkworth, I am delighted to be able to inform you of the excellence of the Widney Klampon Heater, which I have fitted to my Rolls Royce 20 H.P. car. The installation appears quite neat, and does not seem to get in the way of anything. Its heating is more than satisfactory. I drove back two hundred miles the other night through the snow and when it was freezing hard. Neither my wife nor I put greatcoats on: in fact, though my wife started with hers on, she took it off when we stopped for petrol. There appears to be no fumes nor any trouble of any kind, and, though I have not your defroster attachment the car seems quite free from misting up, even on the side window. You are, of course, at liberty to use this letter in any form of advertising, as I shall be only too delighted to show my car to anyone interested. Yours truly, P. W. A.{Mr Adams} BUDGEON. | ||
