| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. + 200a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.1/MH.{M. Huckerby}26.10.37. 6-B-IV CAR - CAR HEATER. The car heater as fitted to this car is too near the clutch pedal with the result that it is very difficult for the driver to move his foot from the clutch pedal to the dimming switch or vice versa. Will you therefore, please move the heater approx. 1" towards the passenger's seat in order to improve this condition as far as possible. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
