Honeyman - Retail orders}7/AH.13.12.37. Car Heaters ---------- Would you very kindly tell us your opinion of the various car heaters you have tried out at W. We have under consideration fitting the Harrison in our Standardised Phantom III Pullman which is the only body in which we regularly fit a heater, in place of the Clayton which we have hitherto fitted. The reason is that to get the best results from the Clayton it has to project into the body whereas it seems that the Harrison gives good results when fitted in a recess. We can find room for a suitable recess between the extra seats so that if we change over to the Harrison the heater itself can be flush with its surroundings. Really what we want to know is whether you found any objections to the Harrison. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} -- | ||
