| -3- Seats. (EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}). The front seats of 9.B.5. as they now are were generally acceptable. The rear seat is still bad and needs experimental development. Ventilation. (Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} & HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies}) It was agreed to recommend a top scuttle ventilator as on 8.B.5. For the front doors it was approved that we recommend the additional flush fitting extra flaps which pivot, as fitted by HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} to 7.B.5. Instrument Board. (By/RD). Arrangement as 9.B.5. but lighting of S.B.5. Back Light. (EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}) Of maximum dimensions and plain. Visors. (EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}). A set of old type Rover to be obtained. Tools. (HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies}). Small tools housed in boot lid{A. J. Lidsey} as on 9.B.5. It was considered that we could afford this as other cheaper cars have it. Interior Lights. (SV. & By/RD). It was desired that the interior lights in the body should have switches so arranged that they come on automatically when either of the rear doors are opened if the side lamps are illuminated.
