Dear Sirs, We were pleased to receive yours of the 20th. instant where you enquired for particulars of Car Heaters, Defrosters and Air Conditioning Equipment. We are exclusive Agents for the following equipment of this nature - Tropic-Aire Hot Water Saloon Heaters Hencol Defrosting Fans Hencol Bakelite Defrosters. We take this opportunity of enclosing literature covering all these lines, and in particular reference to the Tropic-Aire Heaters, would give you the following information. The small leaflet enclosed gives you English retail prices applying to various models. For measurements and weights we would refer you to the large American list which will also give you every technical detail. From our experience gained by the fitting of these Heaters to Demonstration Cars, etc. we would say that these Heaters are extremely efficient in the production of Heat for the Saloon, and owing to their design and the fact that the Fan can be controlled by means of the Rheostat included in the illuminated Switch, a Car can be kept steadily at almost any temperature. If you are sufficiently interested, we would be happy to send you a Tropic-Aire Heater for you to carry out your own experiments, and the same suggestion applies to the other items mentioned above.
