-2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.29.8.38. The ventilation of the front seats seems to be thoroughly bad. We suggest that the General Motors Ventilators are eliminated, and the railway type ventilators fitted. It is extremely difficult to shut the offside front door. The sunshine roof is leaking copiously on the nearside. There is a tendency for exhaust or petrol fumes to enter the car after a rapid stop. The petrol gauge is out of action.
