| ( 1 ) HEATING OF FRONT SEATS. 62nd Meeting, Oct. 23rd, 1911. ( a ) Re Ventilation of Floorboards. It was agreed that Mr. Spinney be asked to instruct a joiner to get out what might be termed a thick floorboard, but what in reality is a double board with a space between. ( b ) The Committee were informed that Mr. Spinney had received instructions to add a note to the coachbuilders drawings to the effect that the floorboards under the front seat should be made as good a fit as possible, and that he was giving the matter his attention. 64th Meeting, Oct. 25th, 1911. Ventilators for Cars. Minute of 60th Meeting. Mr. Wormald submitted two samples of ventilators which were examined by the Committee. It was suggested that they should be subjected to Mr. Royce's inspection. Mr. Nadin informed the Committee that he had issued instructions to Mr. Spinney to get out some ventilators in accordance with the samples submitted by Mr. Wormald on October 19th. The Committee agreed that instructions should be issued that these should be fitted as standard. Mr. Wormald was of the opinion that the design was of value to the designer, and the Committee agreed that he should be paid 10s. 0d. (This suggestion was made to Mr. Wormald by one of the workmen.)
