| 10 conditions such as engine running light load or car running at high speeds. 3. The dashboard ventilators do not materially affect the general condition but [strikethrough] those under the floorboards do slightly lower the floorboards and inside temperature whereas those above the floorboards also slightly lower the temperature inside but [strikethrough] only when the car is running at high speeds As regards the conditions inside the body as above described the smell referred to is that of hot lubricating oil. There is evidently also some passage of air from the back of the undershield into the body as one can distinctly smell the burnt oil of the footbrake when excessively used. Tests with dashboard filled in herewith. Same car, conditions the same. Contd Z | ||
