Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.3/JH. 21st October, 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, Experimental Dept. DERBY. Dear Sirs: We are much obliged for your letter of the 20th instant, and our Managing Director, Mr. R.M. Papelian, is a very happy owner of a 1935 Rolls-Bentley, and we should be very pleased to co-operate with you. With reference to Air Conditioning, we are the sole concessionnaires of the HaDees Hot Water Car Heaters which are selling at the moment in large quantities. The current consumption is only 2/3-amp. on 12-volt, and the weight of the Heater is approx. 8 1/2-lbs. This type of Heater ventilates the whole of the car, provides clean hot air for driving comfort. There are three speeds to the motor actuated by a rheostat illuminated switch to control the amount of heat required. If along with this Heater there is a small electric fan, which will also use only 1/2-amp., or an engine suction fan, is employed, blowing air on to the windscreen, it is impossible for the windscreen glass to freeze or for condensation to take place at night. We regret that we do not handle Car Batteries. There is another point, however, that we want to bring to your notice, namely, we are sole concessionnaires for the American Bosch Car Radio, and during the past four months we have supplied large numbers to Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Bentley owners and distributors. Our Set is terribly simple to fit, and no suppressors whatever are used for the plugs. On the Writer's Bentley there is only a suppressor on the electric windscreen wiper and one on the dynamo. Recently, the Duke of Kent honoured us with an order for his 12-cylinder Rolls, after removing another make.
