| S/W. x4300. INTERIOR HEATERS. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}16/I/30-5-32. 7 Days from 1st enquiry Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid{A. J. Lidsey}8/KT27-5-32. We are interested to note you have now obtained a sample Clayton Dewandre heater and thankyou for your promise of a report. It is a fact that it it going to be a bit of a problem to find room for such a heater in some of the standardised types of bodies, but we anticipate that when a customer wants a heater he will be prepared to agree to (say) the omission of one extra seat or whatever modification may be desirable. We certainly do not despair of being able to find accommodation for so small a heater. LID{A. J. Lidsey} Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
