| E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} EX. ) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) (At Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence.) C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} INTERIOR HEATING OF CARS. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' report is very useful. I prefer using the hot water in a radiator specially for heating the rear compartment. Exhaust heating seems more unsatisfactory and we should run up against many difficulties. Drainage and freezing seem important. We ought to let DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} work at the matter. He may need an assistant because his work is continually increasing. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
