| R.R. 235. (20 H) (W 746 21.8.11) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 1860. REF. 38/17 (i) 28th Sept. 1911. Mr. Spinney 28-9-11 Will you please get out a drawing showing the floorboards isolated by means of some partition and the space between the floorboards and the isolating portion ventilated. The object of this is, of course, to render the floorboards cooler. It is also thought that the heelboard and front seat backboard on open cars might possibly be ventilated. The bottom board, however, must be kept as air-tight as possible. [Handwritten on left margin] X879 [Watermark] DICK MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
