| -2- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/WJ.14.11.35 Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Our accumulated experience on steel bodies on American cars covers approximately 100,000 miles running. The result of it is that I personally would never think of anything but a steel body in spite of the bogey of rust. Neither would I accept a car which had not a reasonable ventilating system.
