[Handwritten signature] Car Heaters: ------------ With further reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std9/MH.{M. Huckerby}2.9.38, we are glad to say that mounted in our Trials Car - as you suggested - we found the S.2.C.A. heater to be reasonably satisfactory and we propose to fit it in future whenever we are called on for a heater and the customer does not specially ask for one of another make or type. Whilst on this subject, we would refer to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std4/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.9.38 on the subject of rheostatic switches. We do not appear to have heard the result of By/RD's negotiations with Lucas. Can we be told the position please?. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
