CAR HEATERS.

BYC/C.25.2.39.

Many thanks for all the trouble you have taken in this matter.

We will, as you suggest, arrange for the Coach-builder concerned to fit the heater and the pipes.

Each chassis had the engine taps fitted by the Works.

We regret you should have to criticise Hooper's ducts, and that they had ignored the points you mentioned about the position of the switch box, although we specially drew their attention to this when on the 7th inst., we sent them your print.

We have told Hooper's the two heaters should be in series, and have received a request from them to ask you to kindly supply the special rubber tubing you offered, as they propose to use this throughout instead of a combination of rubber and copper piping.

They want 22 ft. of the rubber tubing.

Please give instructions for this to be sent along direct to Hooper's at Elveden Road, Iveagh Estate, Willesden, N.W. 10.

Our Order for it is attached.

Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}
