E.C.2. Your Ref Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.27/JH. Our Ref HSM/8. NEW YORK. GUITERMAN COMPANY INC. 35, SOUTH WILLIAM STREET. IF YOU TELEPHONE REGARDING THIS LETTER, PLEASE ASK FOR Motor DEPT. Extension 14. 6th. November 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Department, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We were pleased to receive yours of the 4th. instant, and in view of your remarks the writer paid a visit to your London Showroom and examined the Phantom III Car, so that we would know exactly what models to recommend you for fitment to this Car. In the first place we presume that the Heater would be required for warming the passenger saloon, and if this is so there is no doubt that our Duplex Back seat model Heater is ideally suited, and we are therefore sending you a sample of this Heater for you to try out for yourselves. Our opinion is that the best spot for fitting this model is that it should be stood on the floor of the saloon immediately in front of the rear seat. It could be fitted lying flat on the floor or standing against the seat, whichever is the most convenient. We would point out that the Rheostatic Switch which controls the speed of the Fans on this Heater can be fitted at the back of the Chauffeur's panel, or by the side arms of the back seat. P.T.O.
