Sunshine Roof

I see from VS{J. Vickers}/HPJ 1/MAJ 12.2.57 that Park Ward have in hand a scheme for draining the rear end of the roof by means of a concealed rubber hose. Obviously, if this method works, it is much to be preferred to the external type of drain and I am very sorry to see that Park Ward have been instructed to drop the arrangement.
