| -2- Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/N.23.2.38 Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} (7) SCUTTLE VENTILATOR: We do not mind giving up the tray, providing that when hosing down the car, the trough around the ventilator opening is sufficient in capacity and the drains big enough to enable the water to get away without flowing over the edge, and pouring on to the floor of the front compartment. This is the trouble we have experienced in the past when no tray was fitted. If the lid{A. J. Lidsey} can be made watertight by sealing with rubber, then the chances of success appear to be greater. (8) BACK OF DIVISION: We agree to the idea of fitting tables at the back of the division if they are desired. (9) RAIN GUTTERS: We certainly agree to a rain gutter round the cornice, in fact some while ago we came to the conclusion that cars without such a fitting are not very serviceable. (10) ASH TRAYS: We agree to your remarks re ash trays and cigar lighters to the front and rear compartments. (11) PULL-UP HANDLES: We also agree to fitting a pull-up handle for the front passenger, and arm slings or pull ropes for the rear passengers. (12) LUGGAGE LOCKER: We are in complete agreement with the suggestion that there should be a lamp in the luggage locker. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
