VENTILATION OF THE MYTH. Confirming our discussion of this morning, we consider that, as on the Myth we have a sunshine roof, an opening windscreen and also we are proposing to use flap ventilators in the front windows, we may be able to dispense with the "Spinney" ventilator which we have been in the habit of fitting in the centre of the scuttle. One other factor is that the small engine in the Myth should not cause much heat in the driving compartment, and also this small car will not be used so extensively on the Continent as our larger models. We will therefore start off the Experimental Myth body without one of these ventilators. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
