We have recently tested out a sample interior car heater made by Clayton Dewandre Ltd., Titanic Works, Lincoln. This appears so far to be satisfactory and sales are sufficiently interested in it to ask us for the cost of installation including the cost of the heater itself. We should be glad if you could ascertain from the makers what would be the cost of heater as the sample supplied to us, but without the operating valve unit which fits in place of the engine top water pipe connection to the radiator, we find this feature is unnecessary. There is no question of buying these for standardisation, but if we are in a position to tell customers that we can fit an effective heater of which we approve it will be necessary also to quote the cost of such a heater.
