| 1158 To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby}1.12.38. 25.G.VI HEATING SCHEME. We have fitted up on the above car a heating arrangement which consists of a duct taking hot air from the rear of the radiator matrix to the car interior. This works quite well, and we wish to get at the cost, weight, etc. of this from a standardisation point of view. The above car has got an obsolete type radiator on it. Will you please scheme for us the ducting and connection from the radiator to the dash which will be necessitated on an up-to-date Wraith and B.50 chassis. The distributing duct inside the body should be substantially the same as that on 25.G. We should like this as soon as possible as we wish to get the above weight and cost figures without delay.
