| Copy of Minute 3 of the 69th Meeting of the T.C. Mr. Spinney x879 "Mr. Barrington submitted an extract from the "Motor" of November 14th showing a special form of ventilator fitted to the scuttle of a Delaunay Belville. The Committee agreed that this form of ventilator would probably be very efficient, but that it could not be adopted to any car, except those having the scuttle dash formed in the manner shown on this particular chassis. Mr. Spinney suggested that the best scheme would be to leave a gap between a special body dash and the chassis dash in a similar manner to that shown on the Napier chassis at Olympia. Such a gap should be on the outside of the bonnet and capable of being closed by shutters. The Committee agreed that Mr. Spinney should go into a design such as he described."
