| N5/L141111 REF 73/60(ii) Nov.14th 1911 Re ventilation X879 Mr. Spinney 13-11-11 Will you please consider the various types of ventilators, and submit two or three drawings, with a view to rendering the front seats cooler in summer. The pressure system of ventilation for the back of dash would be preferable to the suction system. It is also desirable that some form of ventilation might be fixed to the body work of the car also (not necessarily the chassis) The ventilator should be of such a form that it could be opened in summer and closed in winter, and when closed should not form a feature of the body work of the car. | ||
