Swindell}1/AC. 6.2.41. [Handwritten] Uee 6033 With reference to your note re de-frosters have personally visited Hopkins, of 135 Kilmarnock Road. and they have no stock of the type you require. Apparently these are made in France and are now unobtainable. They have the single bar type as previously stated. Incidentally, only two Glasgow cars are fitted with panel type de-frosters.
