Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2008 1158 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/AP.26.8.37 Car Heaters on Bentley III. When scheming the dashboard for this car, will you please make provision for the fitting of a car heater - the most likely type to be fitted being the Clayton - we can supply drawings of same. If possible this heater should be situated centrally on the dash and at the lowest possible position - if a heater of slightly larger size can be accommodated this would be an advantage as Messrs Jonn Marston may later be in Production with a heater similar to that shown on their drawing which we will supply to you.
