W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} X 4300 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}11/MA.5. 4. 32. INTERIOR HEATERS. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}22/L/4.4.32. We have noted the contents of your memo and have also read through the booklet describing the Clayton Dewandre heater. The small heater certainly does not look very large and should be more easily installed than the model we fitted up to 20-EX. We are not sure yet that we should like the water thermostat element in our top water pipe, and we do not quite see the necessity of automatic control of both the water and the air temperature; however, we will arrange to get into touch with the makers and let you know any developments that may occur. We are not surprised that Lucas were not keen, we rather got that impression from their representative when he called. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.J.Lidsey. | ||
