CAR HEATER.
Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}17/I/3-12-31.

For your information we attach copy of a letter we have to-day sent to Lucas.

The experimental car is, of course, 20-EX which we saw yesterday.

We think Lucas ought to be able to make up something similar to the American made heater you have fitted up and produce it in sufficient quantities to enable it to be sold at a low price.

If they apply to you will you give their representative facilities to inspect the heater? We think he ought to come over to the Works for the purpose.

We should like to know of anything which transpires with Lucas.
