| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from C. LID{A. J. Lidsey}+B-SS{S. Smith} See me Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} I mentioned to you some little time ago the question of a device for closing the thermostatically controlled shutters so that the London user can keep his engine warm when the car is standing still. Will you please let me know how this stands? I am informed that Humbers have an automatic method of closing the shutters when the car stops, controlled by the oil pressure. Suggested by Mr Phil Paddon - 3-5-32 (Suction & thermostat operation). C. | ||
